The 10,000 unionized members of the Customs and Immigration unit of the Public Service Alliance are frustrated.
They've been working without a contract for three years and there are no new talks planned.
This from the union's National President, Jean-Pierre Fortin, who says workers in Windsor and across Canada are feeling disrespected.
He says wages should be equal to other law enforcement agencies.
"Parity with the other law enforcement groups," says Fortin. "We're talking here, more likely, like the police forces, the RCMP, correctional services. So we want to be in line salary wise. We're somewhere over $10,000 from the closest one. So, obviously, that's a concern."

He says it's been four months since any negotiations.
"Our members are really upset. Right now, what's taking place is we're speaking with different MP's across the country and we're also speaking with ministers. We're at that phase right now, but we'll be increasing our visibility. That's what I'm saying."
Fortin says workers aren't planning any information pickets, but do plan to be more "visible" in the community.
If an agreement isn't reached before, a Public Interest Commission will be visiting CBSA sites in the fall to gather input from employers and employees which will then be turned into recommendations going forward.
