Federal Labour Minister Seamus O'Regan says a strike by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union Canada is illegal after a ruling by the Canada Industrial Relations Board.

In a tweet, O'Regan says the board ordered that the union cease and desist any strike activity because it did not provide 72 hours notice.
