OTTAWA—A union representing about 9,000 Canadian Border Service Agency workers says its members’ employers have agreed to return to the bargaining table following a strike threat made earlier this week.

The Public Service Alliance of Canada and its Customs and Immigration Union says the CBSA and Treasury Board Secretariat committed to resuming negotiations within hours of the strike threat.
