Workers on the Kamutik W ferry have unanimously agreed to join the Seafarers’ International Union of Canada, joining the crew of the Qajaq W and becoming the second Labrador Marine Inc. vessel to unionize.
Symes said it’s great that the Kamutik W joined the same union, and that there’s strength in numbers.
Anthony Côté is the East Coast Representative for the Seafarers’ International Union of Canada.
Côté said 100 per cent of the Kamutik W crew signed their union cards to join.
It’s a milestone for the crew on the Kamutik W and, you know, in general for the workers in the area,” Côté said.
