PSAC has taken the first step toward the next round of negotiations for over 9,000 members in the FB group by serving Treasury Board with notice to bargain. 

After issuing a call for bargaining input, the union received over 1,000 proposals from members working for the Canada Border Servies Agency (CBSA). Next month, from March 24–26, members from every Customs and Immigration Union (CIU) branch across the country will gather in person at the National FB Bargaining Conference in Ottawa to discuss members’ priorities and elect a bargaining team for the next round of negotiations. 

Initial bargaining dates will be set following the conference. The current collective agreement expires on June 20, 2026. 

The mobilization by FB members during our last round of bargaining was critical to securing important gains — including stronger protections against CBSA management and improvements that bring our working conditions and retirement eligibility more in line with other law enforcement agencies across Canada. 

PSAC-CIU members at CBSA go above and beyond every day to protect our borders. It’s time for the employer to recognize that dedication and hard work by making CBSA a better, safer place to work.
