A looming Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) strike was put on hold at the last minute on Friday to allow negotiations to continue.
A statement from the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) and the Customs and Immigration Union (CIU), which represents more than 9,000 CBSA workers, was issued right at the 4 p.m. EDT deadline for job action to begin.
“All strike action by 9,000 CBSA personnel is on hold as mediation will continue until Wednesday,” the union said. “Picket lines will not be in place until further notice.”
The union had been threatening job action would begin Friday afternoon if an agreement was not reached with the CBSA and Treasury Board by then, potentially affecting border crossings across the country.
