GOVERNMENT RESPONDS TO PSAC ANNOUNCEMENT OF POSSIBLE STRIKE ACTION AT OUR
BORDERS STARTING FRIDAY

From: Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat


STATEMENT

Government responds to PSAC announcement of possible strike action at our
borders starting Friday

June 5, 2024 – Ottawa, Ontario – Treasury Board of Canada Secretariat

Two days ago, the Government of Canada and the Public Service Alliance of Canada
(PSAC) began mediated negotiations with the goal of reaching an agreement on a
renewed collective agreement for the Border Services Group. Yesterday, PSAC
announced that should its demands at the bargaining table not be met by 4 pm on
Friday June 7, they will begin strike action.

Negotiation is a process of give and take. The government is prepared to make
concessions, but there needs to be movement on both sides. Canadians expect
these outstanding issues to be resolved at the bargaining table swiftly, and the
announced labour disruptions undermine the negotiation process. We are
disappointed that PSAC has threatened labour disruptions when we are ready and
willing to negotiate and reach a fair agreement through good faith bargaining.

Although the Border Services Group will be in a legal strike position as of June
6, 90% of front-line Border Services Officers occupy essential services
positions and must continue to provide uninterrupted border services to protect
the safety and security of the public. While the government fully respects the
right of employees to gather and demonstrate lawfully, unlawful job action will
not be tolerated.

Border Services Group employees provide important services to Canadians and the
government is fully committed to reaching an agreement that is fair for them and
reasonable for taxpayers, just like similar agreements already reached with 17
bargaining units and covering more than 80% of the public service.

Quick Facts

 * The Border Services Group is composed of approximately 11,000 positions at
   the Canada Border Services Agency that are primarily involved in the
   planning, development, delivery, or management of the inspection and control
   of people and goods entering Canada. Approximately 9,500 members of the
   Borders Services Group are represented.
   
 * Under the Federal Public Sector Labour Relations Act, Border Services
   Officers occupying essential services positions cannot work to rule and
   cannot intentionally slow down border processing. The Canada Border Services
   Agency will take progressive disciplinary action or other measures against
   employees in essential services positions who engage in illegal job action.
