Members of the PSAC and the CIU will begin job action across the country starting June 7 at 4 p.m. ET if an agreement is not reached at the table with CBSA and Treasury Board this week.

PSAC received the Public Interest Commission’s report May 29 with their non-binding recommendations for reaching a new collective agreement.

The ballots have been counted, and you’ve given our union an overwhelming strike mandate to take job action and show this employer we mean business.

FB group members have been attending strike vote sessions in unprecedented numbers. To ensure all members have an opportunity to vote, PSAC-CIU has added two more national strike vote sessions.

PSAC cannot substantiate rumours circulating in the media this week that the federal government plans to increase its mandate to three days in the office per week for federal public service workers.

CBSA law enforcement personnel work in demanding and physically challenging roles, and face similar physical demands and risks, yet are not afforded the same retirement benefits as their counterparts in other law enforcement agencies.

The FB bargaining team presented PSAC’s arguments for fair wages that are aligned with other law enforcement agencies across the country, stronger job security, access to telework, new protections for our jobs and equitable retirement at the first of two Public Interest Commission hearing dates April 10.
