Anja Karadeglija of The Canadian Press reports that more than 9,000 Canada Border Services Agency employees are in a legal strike position as of this Thursday, and they’re warning that could mean major snarls at airports and border crossings. A spokesman for the Treasury Board says 90 per cent of front-line officers are designated as “essential,” which means they can’t walk off the job. But some experts say employees could take a “work to rule” approach which could prolong processing times, negatively impacting tourism and the national economy.
