About 9,000 Canadian Border Service Agency workers are preparing to begin job action across the country on Friday and say travellers should expect long lineups and lengthy delays at border crossings and airports.

The Public Service Alliance of Canada and its Customs and Immigration Union, which represent the workers, said that it served a strike notice to the government on Tuesday and is now readying its workers to up the ante.

"Treasury Board and CBSA have been clear they aren't prepared to address critical workplace issues at CBSA at the bargaining table." "The Government of Canada has reached agreements covering 95 per cent of the federal unionized workforce for this round of bargaining and is confident that an offer has been put forward that provides a reasonable basis on which to reach an agreement."

The dispute comes as Canada is preparing to allow fully vaccinated Americans to visit without having to quarantine starting Aug. 9 and will open the country's borders to travellers from other countries with the required doses of a COVID-19 shot on Sept. 7. Union members voted last month to strike as early as Friday, if the two sides couldn't reach an agreement, prompting their employers to agree to return to the bargaining table.

This is complete nonsense government should bring replacement and let them go they’re are holding country hostage 😡😡

I smell fish. 🎣

Police and Firefighters don't have right to strike so why isn't boarder guards in the same category?

Canada needs to take the same approach to unions as the US does.

Never let a good pandemic go to waste.

Hahaha!
