Customs Officers Angry Over Name Tags

A dispute over name tags has sparked a slowdown at two Canadian border crossings in Ontario.

The Canada Border Services Agency says some officers at the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor and Sarnia's Blue Water Bridge are refusing to work as they question the health and safety implications of wearing a name tag on their uniform.

The agency says the new policy is in line with similar ones in place on the U.S. side of the border and in the Canadian Forces.
