Prince Edward Island government offers Cavendish Farms workers money for training during shutdowns

The union representing Cavendish Farms workers has publicly thanked the P.E.I. government for more than $600,000 in training money.

The money will allow employees of the company's two potato processing plants in New Annan who expect to be out of work during several week-long shutdowns over the next few months to train for jobs in other areas of the plants.
