Critical Agreement Reached Just in Time
The Canadian government and the union representing over 9,000 Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) workers have reached a tentative agreement, averting a potential strike set to commence on Friday. The deal was announced on Tuesday, relieving many who rely on the smooth operation of border services.
Anita Anand, President of Canada’s Treasury Board, emphasized the importance of the agreement. “Border Services employees are critical to the safety and security of our borders, and this tentative agreement recognizes the importance of that work while remaining reasonable for taxpayers,” she stated in a news release. The government remains negotiating with other bargaining units and is committed to achieving similarly positive outcomes.
