The Fish, Food and Allied Workers (FFAW) union is offering clarification to its members following a Supreme Court injunction granted last week. The injunction relates to a dispute over the authority of the Standing Fish Price-Setting Panel.
The union states that the panel's original decision, which established a price formula, remains in effect. This means the collective agreement between harvesters and processors is considered valid under the panel's ruling, despite the ongoing legal challenge.
The FFAW's communication aims to ensure members understand their rights and the status of the price-setting mechanism during the legal process. The union has not indicated when a final court decision on the underlying dispute is expected.
