Face Unprovoked: Work Environment and Ctv News

face unprovoked: We feel there's a two-tier system at CBSA, said CIU national president Jean-Pierre Fortin, according to CTV. One for the managers, and one for the employees, our members. The video, which runs just under two minutes, features two alleged incidents where the Customs and Immigration Union CIU says supervisors assaulted employees but were never disciplined. Fortin said incidents reported by its workers include a male supervisor who physically assaulted a female officer in front of a witness, and a manager who punched a border services officer in the face unprovoked. In a written statement, CBSA media relations manager Ashley Lemire told CTV News, in part The CBSA is committed to providing a work environment where all employees are treated with respect and dignity. CTV News is unable to independently verify the allegations and when asked, Fortin declined to go into details, but said he was fairly certain neither of the cases were before the courts.
