The North Country Chamber of Commerce wanted you to be aware of the news below.
The union representing CBSA Canadian border personnel is stating that it will begin taking strike votes next week in the long absence of a contract settlement.
If this results in even short-term strike actions or, as we have at times seen at Lacolle in years past, "slowdown" actions by union personnel to snarl things, this will have some impact on the cross-border shipping and supply chain activities of many area companies.
We wanted you to be aware beforehand, know that the staff at the North Country Chamber will be monitoring the situation and provide updates as they are available.
