A strike by Canadian border workers that could cause slowdowns at U.S.-Canada border crossings has been put on hold to allow more time for negotiations with the federal government, the Public Service Alliance of Canada (PSAC) union said.
The strike by more than 9,000 Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) workers was set to begin at 4 p.m. last Friday. PSAC and the government extended mediation talks until Wednesday.
CBSA personnel are represented by PSAC and the Customs and Immigration Union (CIU).
