OTTAWA — The union that represents 9,000 CBSA workers said Friday they won't strike until at least Wednesday, as mediation continues.

The government says 90 per cent of front-line border officers are designated as essential, which means they can’t stop working during a strike. A strike wouldn’t just be a problem for tourists, but would"have a very significant impact on the economy," Ian Lee, an associate professor at Carleton University’s school of business, said in an interview last week.

"In short, a strike would be massively disruptive to any commercial traffic and business travel for manufacturers."
