Media advisory - Unifor to rally to save the Terra Nova
ST. JOHN'S, NL, June 13, 2021 /CNW/ - Supporters of the offshore oil and gas industry will hold a demonstration at the provincial legislature to demand the Furey government make a commitment to the Terra Nova.
"Building and maintaining the energy industry requires coordination and investment from all levels of government," said Jerry Dias, Unifor National President. "Premier Andrew Furey's proposal to simply walk away is a slap in the face to the province's energy sector and the thousands of families it helps support."
Premier Furey and Minister of Energy Andrew Parsons are expected to be in the legislature on Monday to participate in the emergency meeting on Terra Nova.

WHEN: | Monday, June 14, 2021 at 9 a.m. NT. |
