Members of the bargaining unit are encouraged to fill out the online form to provide the improvements and changes they would like to see made to the collective agreement. 

Treasury Board has committed to signing the Border Services (FB) tentative agreement for PSAC-CIU members by December 1. 

PSAC-CIU members in the Border Services (FB) bargaining unit have voted overwhelmingly in favour of the tentative agreement with the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). The FB group represents over 8,500 CBSA employees who have been on the front lines of the pandemic since day one, protecting our borders and keeping Canadians safe.

FB members may now download the ratification kit — including full text of the tentative agreement — and the revised wage grid prior to participating in the online ratification process. The bargaining team unanimously recommends ratification of the new agreement.

Any questions you may have about the tentative agreement or ratification vote process can be answered at the virtual information sessions that will take place before you vote. However, to provide you with as much information as possible ahead of time, we have compiled key questions and answers for you. 

After more than three years without a contract and unprecedented mobilization by FB members across Canada, the PSAC-CIU bargaining team reached a tentative agreement with Treasury Board and CBSA late Friday, August 6 following a 36-hour, round-the-clock, marathon negotiation session.

Travelers and commercial traffic entering Canada should expect long lineups and lengthy delays at border crossings and airports starting Friday, August 6 as nearly 9,000 Canada Border Services Agency employees begin job action across the country.
