James Farrell is a representative of FFAW-Unifor, a union that advocates for workers in the fishing and food processing sectors in Newfoundland and Labrador. Recently, he has been vocal about the potential impact of opening interprovincial beer sales on local jobs, specifically expressing concerns that such changes could threaten the livelihood of workers at the Molson Coors brewery in St. John's, where he represents more than 50 employees. He has raised alarms about how this shift could lead to the closure of the local brewery, emphasizing the importance of maintaining protections for locally produced beer in order to safeguard employment in the province.
