Members of the union representing processing employees at American Seafoods’ New Bedford subsidiary distributed flyers at the International Boston Seafood Show on Tuesday, protesting against what they allege is unfair treatment of workers.

Representatives from Teamsters Local 59 greeted show attendants at Hynes Convention Center with flyers that read in bold letters: 'American Seafoods is unhealthy for New England families'.

“They won’t talk to us,” Local 59 spokesman David Cabral said of the picketing. “So maybe we can get them to talk to us at the seafood show – just to make people aware.”
