At the same time as the CIU National President was bringing CBSA’s ‘un-Canadian’ way of treating accommodated officers to the attention of the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security, the CIU National Board of Directors was rallying in front of CBSA’s offices in Ottawa to send the employer a clear message: An injury to one is an injury to all, and CBSA’s attempt to do a blanket review of existing accommodation to push out trained, experienced officers will not stand.
An update on the policy grievance
Given the potential impact of CBSA’s review of accommodation agreements on our accommodated members, CIU is exploring all avenues to protect our members’ rights and ensure the employer meets its legal obligations. A policy grievance has been filed, challenging the employer’s unwarranted wholesale approach. We will make sure to update you as the case progresses.
