Mr. Speaker, Unifor Local 1541 has been without a contract since March 2023, and it has been on strike for almost six months. The employer has called Canadian workers lazy, refused to negotiate a wage increase and refused to bargain. He is effectively trying to bust the union. The union met with the NDP-Liberal minister almost two months ago and took the unprecedented step of asking the minister to intervene. His response has been crickets.
Why is the NDP-Liberal minister abandoning Unifor Local 1541?
