Public sector unions representing the Canada Border Services Agency reached a tentative agreement for over 9,000 workers, averting a potential strike that would have led to delays at important US land crossings.
The Public Service Alliance of Canada and one of its branches, the Customs and Immigration Union — which represents front-line customs and immigration officers — said the full details of the agreement will be made available on Thursday.
