OTTAWA – Unions representing thousands of Canadian Border Service Agency workers say its members have voted in favour of striking, jeopardizing the federal government’s reopening plans.
The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) and the Customs and Immigration Union (CIU) say members may strike as soon as Aug. 6, three days before the federal government is set to loosen its travel restrictions.
Starting Aug. 9, fully vaccinated U.S. citizens will be able to visit Canada through the land borders, which have been closed to non-essential travel for more than a year, as well as by flying in.
The federal government says those visitors will no longer have to quarantine upon arrival. |
Good for CBSA. They've been out of contract for a while now and this should be the added pressure they need to get it done.
