The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) and the Customs and Immigration Union (CIU) are in negotiations with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and Treasury Board, seeking a fair contract for CBSA employees who have been without one for over two years. If an agreement is not reached by June 14, over 9,000 members will begin job action, potentially causing major disruptions at Canada’s borders. 90% of frontline Border Services officers are essential workers, continuing duties uninterrupted. The demands include equitable retirement benefits, fair wages, improved workplace protections, and flexible work options.
