Chris Aylward, national president of the Public Service Alliance of Canada, says the work-to-rule effort put 'intense pressure' on the government. (CBC)"The agreement is a testament to the incredible hard work and dedication of our bargaining team who worked through the night to reach a deal." It helped that the work-to-rule effort put "intense pressure" on the government "at every airport and border crossing across the country," he added. A CBSA worker is seen at the Thousand Islands Canada-U.S. border crossing in Lansdowne, Ont., on July 30. "The offer recognizes the important work of border services officers and our responsibility to Canadian taxpayers for a reasonable deal, situated in the economic reality of the country," the department tweeted Friday.
