But Freeland, also Minister of Finance, had stern words for the 7,400 members of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada in Vancouver who have been on strike since July 1. The MP’s stop in Belle Plaine focused on matters of inflation, affordability and quality of life as the striking ILWU workers fight for protections against contracting out work and automation and higher wages.
