42nd Parliament
A
A
Joyce
says
one
of
the
union's
major
achievements
was
the
passage
of
the
fishing
collective
bargaining
act
in
1996,
which
enabled
collective
bargaining
for
the
sane
fishing
fleet.
Another
was
the
fight
to
eliminate
different
rates
of
pay
and
seniority,
call
out
rules
for
male
and
female
shore
workers,
which
was
finally
achieved
in
1988.
A
Recently,
joyce
stepped
down,
as
president
saying
it's
time
for
young
people
to
take
control
of
their
future,
placing
full
confidence
in
newly
elected
president.
James
lawson,
who
she
believes,
will
make
changes
that
will
benefit
all
active
fishermen.
Joy
will
stay
active
negotiating
upcoming,
collective
agreements
for
sane
boat
operators,
shore
workers
and
tendermint.
A
I
have
known
joy
over
the
years
as
a
knowledgeable,
passionate,
hard-working
ufawu
representative,
the
minister
of
agriculture,
food
and
fisheries
recently
said
joy
is
one
tough
customer.
She
will
continue
to
represent
workers
in
bc's
fishing
industry.
While
we
acknowledge
with
great
appreciation
all
of
she
has
accomplished
in
the
past.
I
ask
all
members
of
the
house:
please
join
me
in
acknowledging
joy,
thorkelson's
contribution
to
the
bc
fishing
sector.
