Where workingmen unite: Lough Neagh fishermen form union Martin Donnelly It was a momentous day for the fishermen of Lough Neagh when they made history on Sunday 18 May in Brocagh Co Tyrone. The fishermen, from around the Lough reclaimed their union, the 'Lough Neagh Fishermen's Association' (LNFA) The union has been dormant for many years but the fishermen are adamant that a re-invigorated union will protect their industry which will benefit future generations. Leading trade unionist and former Chairperson of the Northern Ireland Congress of Trade Unions, Joe Bowers acting as advisor to the fishermen, addressed the meeting in Brocagh. Joe is well known for representing workers all over Ireland. He has a long Union experience in Harland and Wolff's. Now Joe is working with men who sail a different boat -- the fishing boat on Lough Neagh. He is doing it every bit as effectively.
