Parout au pays, le soutien à notre équipe de négociation se fait bien sentir ! Sur ces photos : Halifax, Woodstock et Port Stewart. ✊✊
Nos membres à l’ASFC font un travail semblable à celui d’autres agentes et agents d’application de la loi, mais n’ont pas droit à la même retraite anticipée. Ils veulent obtenir une entente équitable et pouvoir prendre leur retraite après 25 ans.
Workers at CBSA carry out similar tasks to every other law enforcement agency, but don't have the same retirement benefits. They deserve a fair deal that includes 25 and out.
Just 3 years ago, job action at the borders and airports caused widespread delays for travellers and commercial trucking. Our members are prepared to take action again to secure a fair contract that includes retirement benefits.

FB members have operated without a contract for 2 years. We’ve waited long enough. A strike is always a last resort, but with 96% in favour of a strike mandate, we are ready to take action to secure a fair contract.

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
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.

The #CBSA in St. John’s #NL was honoured to clear this evening’s repatriation flight, welcoming Newfoundland’s Unknown Hero home. We remember the sacrifices of those who served and are currently serving. #CanadaRemembers#NLMemorial100
@TBS_Canada Instead of negotiating in good faith on issues that impact our members, you rely on technicalities and jurisdictional arguments instead of coming up with a solution on the merits. Our members do not want to strike, but they are prepared and ready. 2/2
@TBS_Canada You routinely ignored requests from the members to negotiate in July and August for 2 years while our members get their vacation denied. You refused to negotiate for more than once a month for 3 days otherwise. 1/2
@TBS_Canada@psac_afpc "Now is the time we will understand that people have lives and should be able to plan without completely changing their schedule on short notice." Or how about "Now is the time we will not use discipline arbitrarily."
@TBS_Canada@psac_afpc I think what you mean to say is "Now is the time we should negotiate in good faith & stop diminishing the role of these very important law enforcement officers" or how about " Now is the time we will respect these fine folks that protect our great country" cont'd 1/
