Thanks to the thousands of PSAC-CIU members who have expressed support and taken action as we fight for a fair contract, including the hundreds of officers from Quebec in Lacolle yesterday.
FB members perform law enforcement work. These men and women keep our borders safe, seize illegal weapons and drugs, and protect our communities. They deserve a fair contract.
On March 23, 2018, members of CIU and PSAC rallied at the Saint-Bernard-de-Lacolle (QC) port of entry, in solidarity with the FB bargaining team, and with a clear message for the employer: After 1372 days without a contract, enough is enough.

]On Thursday, March 15, we received the Public Interest Commission (PIC) recommendation concerning our contract dispute with Treasury Board/CBSA. The PIC recommendation is non-binding. It is intended to guide the parties in negotiations and help provide an avenue for the parties to make progress towards an agreement but neither party is obligated to follow the recommendations of the decision.
A large number of CIU and PSAC members rallied today at Toronto Pearson airport, sending a strong message to the employer: As we prepare to return to the bargaining table, it is high time to treat FB members as law enforcement and give them a fair contract. We’re united in solidarity and ready to defend our rights, and we support our bargaining team.
On Friday March 9, 2018, our PSAC Negotiator for the FB group was contacted by the Treasury Board and told that the employer has a new mandate. As a result, we are in the process of setting dates to return to the bargaining table during the week of March 19.
Thanks to all of the CIU-PSAC members at CBSA from coast to coast to coast for participating in our ongoing mobilization activities. Updates will be provided as things progress.
