Strike looms for border workers if mediation doesn’t deliver deal

Jun 7, 2024 | 7:03 AM

Thousands of Canadian border workers could go on strike this afternoon if mediation doesn’t deliver a deal before then.

More than 9,000 Public Service Alliance of Canada members who work for the Canada Border Services Agency are set to begin striking at 4 p.m.

The two sides went into mediation on Monday.

The union says key issues include pay parity with other law enforcement agencies, remote work options, pension benefits and stronger workplace protections.
