OTTAWA - Security officers at the Bank of Canada began a job action today after talks failed to secure a new collective agreement between the central bank and the union.

The Public Service Alliance of Canada says 63 security officers at the Bank of Canada's Ottawa and Montreal offices are on strike and the Montreal workers are also locked out by the employer.
