FB members at CBSA ratify new agreement

FB members working at the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) have voted overwhelmingly in favour of their tentative agreement, with 91% of ballots cast in favour of the new contract. The new agreement secures wage increases that exceed recent increases to other Canadian law enforcement agencies, enhanced protections relative to technological changes, and better provisions for shift scheduling and leave.

The four-year collective agreement expires on June 20, 2026.

Next Steps 

In the coming weeks, PSAC will meet with employer representatives to sign the new collective agreement. With the exception of monetary provisions, which are retroactive, new contract terms come into effect on the date of signing.

The employer has 180 days from the signing of the contract to implement wage increases, wage adjustments and allowances. If the employer is unable to meet this deadline, there is a lump sum of $200 payable if the outstanding amount is more than $500 owed.

PSAC will update members when the agreement is signed. Please make sure you keep your contact information up to date and watch for more information as we move forward.
