Find the latest on bargaining updates between CN and the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference (TCRC) union here.
June 11, 2024:
The Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) and the Customs and Immigration Union (CIU) have reached a tentative agreement for more than 9,000 workers at CBSA, avoiding potential job action at Canada’s borders.
June 4, 2024:
We are reaching out to inform you about a potential disruption at the Canadian Border. The Canadian Border Service Agency (CBSA), an essential service that cannot legally strike, may experience slowed processing times due to a more rigorous application of border procedures.
This could involve CBSA officers asking all permitted questions and thoroughly examining truck manifests. While these measures are legal, they may lead to significant delays for cross-border shipments.
