Canadian Border Workers Vote in Favour of Striking as Soon as 06AUG: Union

The Public Service Alliance of Canada and its Customs and Immigration Union, which represents around 9,000 Canadian Border Service Agency workers, says its members have voted in favour of striking, which may jeopardize the federal government’s plan to reopen to fully vaccinated U.S. travellers. The workers may go on strike as soon as 06AUG 2021, just three days before the border is set to open.
