Notice of Launch - New Brunswick MFU Membership Drive Program : renewal of membership
Every 4 years, New Brunswick inshore fishermen must choose an organization to represent them. This is a requirement under the New Brunswick Inshore Fisheries Representation Act.
For over 40 years, the Maritime Fishermen's Union (MFU) has worked with owners-operators like you to assert your rights and to have your important contribution to our communities and the province recognized.
We, therefore, ask you to sign your new card and return it to us promptly.
Over the next few weeks, representatives of MFU and your local leaders will be active in encouraging our members to renew their membership.
MFU, because of the experience, knowledge and commitment of its members and staff, is the voice most listened to by governments.
Now more than ever, there is strength in numbers.
Réjean Comeau - MFU President
Martin Mallet - MFU Executive Director - Executive Secretary
