We are deeply disappointed by CBSA’s recent decision to suspend the calculation of the cumulative working period for term employees. Effective April 1, 2025, the process that allows term employees to transition to indeterminate status will cease, creating instability and insecurity for many of our members.
Term employees are an essential part of the Agency’s day-to-day operations, and this decision sends the message that their contributions are not valued.
Now is the time for this employer to foster loyalty, morale, and trust among its workforce, not to burden them with uncertainty. We urge CBSA to find a more balanced approach that ensures term employees are not left in limbo. The suspension of the cumulative working period is a step backward, and it is our hope that CBSA will reconsider and engage in meaningful consultation with CIU to support the long-term welfare of all employees.
We remain committed to advocating for the interests of our members and will continue to press CBSA to prioritize the fair treatment and recognition of its workforce.
