SUPPORT OUR AIRPORT SCREENERS NOW -
Use this form to send a letter to your MP, asking them to put pressure on the government of Canada to take responsibility and use its power to fix the growing chaos in our airports that is causing extreme delays for travellers and increased concern about safety and security in Canadian airports. Pre-board security screening officers are crucial to keeping passengers moving and they are the first line of defence in keeping our skies safe. In Canada, they are employed by one of three private, multinational security corporations which are overseen and funded by the federal government, under the Ministry of Transport.
