Customs And Immigration Union: OTTAWA Travellers

Border Guards Dept: OTTAWA Travellers may find longer than usual waits at the Emerson border crossing today as border guards, upset at a new name-tag policy, have walked off the job, according to Winnipeg Free Press. The guards and their union, the Customs and Immigration Union, argue the name tags is a health and safety hazard and emerson, Man. is a high traffic point for Canadians entering the U.S., but delays are expected as a labour dispute slows services. According to the CBSA, several workers at the Emerson crossing withdrew their services this afternoon because of a new policy that border guards must wear name tags. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
