Support PSAC members in the FB Group!
PSAC and CIU are determined to reach a fair contract, one that protects our hard-fought gains and provides new rights and protections for 8,500 members in the FB group. FB members deserve to be treated with respect.
While wages have stalled and the cost of living has risen, CBSA has refused to negotiate an agreement that protects workers and continues to demand concessions at the bargaining table.
After almost two years of negotiations, PSAC declared impasse in bargaining in September 2023 after CBSA has not moved on key issues like wages in line with other law enforcement agencies, better job security, access to telework, and protections from contracting out.
On April 3, PSAC and CIU announced that members who work at CBSA will be conducting a strike vote across the country, beginning on April 10, 2024.
While strike votes are underway, PSAC and CBSA are proceeding to Public Interest Commission (PIC) hearings April 10 and 22 with the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board. After the hearing, the Commission will issue report with non-binding recommendations for reaching an agreement. If members vote in favour of a strike mandate, PSAC will be in a legal strike position seven days after the Board releases its report.
It’s time to put maximum pressure on CBSA and the government to come to the table with a fair offer. Join us on April 9 and support FB members as we ramp up our mobilization efforts:

- New protections from management and for our jobs
