On May 30, 2025, Customs and Immigration Union National President Mark Weber met with the new Public Safety Minister, Gary Anandasangaree, along with Secretary of State for Labour John Zerucelli.
With the new parliamentary session having just started this week, CIU is pleased that the Minister took time early in his mandate for this introductory meeting. The meeting focused on the party’s campaign promises — such as hiring 1,000 additional border officers — with both the Minister and the Secretary of State taking a clear interest in matters affecting CIU members. It is evident that Minister Anandasangaree is keen on maintaining the good working relationship the union established with his predecessor. This first meeting set a positive tone and we look forward to the next opportunity to sit down with the Minister and advance ongoing issues of importance to our membership.
