URGENT UPDATE: All strike action by 9,000 CBSA personnel is on hold as mediation will continue until Wednesday. Picket lines will not be in place until further notice.

Stand by for further details.

Anita Anand and the Liberal government can make this right and put forward the legislative changes required to provide CBSA personnel the same early retirement benefits as other law enforcement agencies in Canada, allowing them to retire with dignity.

FB members! Your bargaining team is in mediation today fighting for a fair contract, but a strike could take place as early as June 6. Make sure we have your personal mobile phone number so you can receive updates via text message 📲https://t.co/QZmK2JHaYI

@TBS_Canada By the way, is it reasonable for taxpayers when you hire 2,000 additional middle managers to an already bloated cadre, yet you critically understaff the front line to the detriment of the safety and security of the Canadian public? #CanLab #CanPol #canpoli #staffthefrontline

@TBS_Canada Now is not the time for more of your rhetoric. The FB bargaining has tried to negotiate with you, but you've stonewalled them for 2 years. Members are fed up and have spoken loudly! #25andout #remotework #telework #Canlab #CanPol #canpoli

It’s time to fight back against the government’s misguided decision to require federal public service workers to in-office 3-days per week. But we need to collect your thoughts to help us shape the union’s strategy. Take our 5-minute survey now!

“Senior officials in most law enforcement organizations have some level of frontline experience, that is not the case at CBSA. The result is an unparalleled disconnect between the upper echelons and the frontline.” Mark Weber speaking to SECU on Feb 26.

The appointment of the PIC follows the bargaining team’s declaration of impasse after CBSA refused to budge on our key issues – including wage parity with the broader law enforcement community and access to telework https://t.co/UTXD709rmG

The transition to Canada Life insurance for federal public service workers has caused frustrating challenges for plan members and their dependents. Read our FAQ to find out the latest about the transition and what PSAC is doing to help plan members.

The PSAC-CIU bargaining team has declared impasse at the bargaining table during talks September 26 and 27 after CBSA refused to budge on our key issues and continues to insist on concessions. https://t.co/umEjC29jGW

After a 137 days on strike, workers at the Iqaluit Housing Authority have reached a fair deal. Congratulations to our members! https://t.co/gomaIVwWhh

Since Justin Trudeau became Prime Minister, the number of CBSA frontline officers hasn't changed.

But the number of bureaucrats in CBSA middle management has doubled.

The Liberal approach to public safety is failing, and our communities are paying the price.

[PSAC-AFPC @psac_afpc]

The FB bargaining team used their December 13-15 bargaining dates to remind the employer that modifying working conditions without union consent while in negotiations is prohibited under federal legislation #canlab #cdnpoli

"The negotiations we’ve seen in recent weeks send a signal to the employers that workers in this country are not willing to accept anything below the rate of inflation", said Chris Aylward, PSAC national president. #canlab #canpoli

PSAC has negotiated improvements to the Public Service Health Care Plan, which provides benefits to federal public service workers & retirees. The PSHCP hadn’t been reviewed since 2006 & needed significant updates, especially to reflect increased costs. https://t.co/8vZQeBSgYn
