Les travailleurs de Postes Canada sont en grève

Près de 55 000 travailleurs de Postes Canada sont en grève depuis 1 h du matin, vendredi, à la suite de l’échec des négociations en cours pour le renouvellement de leur contrat de travail.

Le Syndicat des travailleurs et travailleuses des postes (STTP) avait donné mardi à l’employeur et au ministre fédéral du Travail un préavis de 72 heures, annonçant le déclenchement d’un arrêt de travail à compter de 1 h dans la nuit de jeudi à vendredi.

Postes Canada avait répliqué peu après en lançant à son tour un préavis de lock-out. Le mandat de grève, lui, avait été adopté à 95 % par les postiers en octobre.

Postes Canada avait cependant précisé qu’il n’avait pas vraiment l’intention de mettre ses travailleurs en lock-out.

Grève ou lock-out?

Une certaine confusion entourait ce matin le conflit dans la mesure où le syndicat affirmait que l’employeur avait bel et bien résolu d’imposer un lock-out à la suite de discussions qui se sont terminées tard dans la nuit.

Postes canada, de son côté, affirme qu’il n’y a pas de lock-out et que l’arrêt de travail découle entièrement de la décision du syndicat de débrayer. Postes Canada était déterminée à continuer ses activités, assure-t-on.

En entrevue au micro de l’émission Tout un matin, sur ICI PREMIÈRE, Yannick Scott, directeur nationwide de la région du Montréal métropolitain pour le STTP, a expliqué que les négociations se sont terminées sur un ultimatum de l’employeur.

La Société a annoncé au syndicat qu’importe ce qu’il faisait ou ne faisait pas aujourd’hui, qu’ils mettraient leur lock-out en vigueur et nous enlevait les droits de notre conference collective pour les échanger par les règles du Code canadien du travail.

Or, la path de Postes Canada n’a pas imposé officiellement de lock-out, mais elle l’a fait de facto, selon l’ancien directeur québécois du Syndicat canadien de la fonction publique (SCFP), Marc Ranger.

L’employeur n’a pas envoyé un nouvel avis pour annuler son premier avis [de lock-out]. Son premier avis avait toutes les qualités de ce qu’on appelle un lock-out, a-t-il expliqué sur les ondes d’ICI RDI.

Dès qu’on modifie les situations de travail pour faire des pressions économiques sur les salariés, le Code canadien [du travail] attribue ça à un lock-out. L’employeur, Postes Canada, joue sur les mots pour une opération de relations publiques pour éviter de passer pour le méchant, estime M. Ranger qui est aujourd’hui conseiller stratégique chez Ryan Affaires publiques.

Le traitement du courrier interrompu

Postes Canada est déçue de la décision du STTP de fermer le service postal en déclenchant une grève nationale. Cette décision aura des répercussions importantes et immédiates sur des tens of millions de Canadiens, de petites entreprises et d’organismes de bienfaisance qui comptent sur Postes Canada pendant la période achalandée des Fêtes, a déclaré Postes Canada.

Le courrier et les colis ne seront ni traités ni livrés durant la grève nationale et certains bureaux de poste seront fermés. Les garanties de service seront touchées pour les articles déjà dans le réseau postal. Aucun nouvel article ne sera accepté jusqu’à la fin de l’arrêt de travail à l’échelle nationale.

Une quotation de Postes Canada

Pour ce qui est du courrier et des colis qui sont déjà dans les installations de Postes Canada, ils seront sécurisés et livrés dès que doable à la reprise des activités selon le principe du premier entré, premier sorti, poursuit Postes Canada, qui anticipe des perturbations bien après la fin de la grève.

Outre de meilleurs salaires, les postiers réclament une meilleure conciliation famille-travail ainsi qu’une amélioration des situations de santé et de sécurité.

Postes Canada instaure de nouveaux systèmes de livraison de courrier qui font en sorte que les facteurs sont 8 heures maintenant à l’extérieur à livrer et certains font 30 km à pied.

Dans l’Ouest canadien, on a des facteurs qui font 30 km à pied chaque jour, ce qui est l’équivalent de deux marathons et demi par semaine.

Une quotation de Yannick Scott, directeur nationwide de la région du Montréal métropolitain pour le STTP

Dans les grands centres urbains, la modification des horaires fait en sorte que les travailleurs arrivent maintenant très tard chez eux en plus d’avoir passé souvent l’entièreté de leur quart à l’extérieur, peu importe les situations météorologiques, déplore le syndicat.

Les events tentent de s’entendre depuis bientôt un an.

Un nouveau modèle s’impose, selon la path

Postes Canada, de son côté, affirme que son offre aux syndiqués est concurrentielle (11,5 % d’augmentation salariale sur quatre ans), compte tenu des pertes de revenus avec lesquelles elle doit composer depuis 2018.

Malgré cela, Postes Canada a continué de présenter des offres qui protègent et améliorent ce qui est essential pour nos employés actuels […] tout en protégeant leur régime de retraite à prestations déterminées et les tendencies relations à la sécurité d’emploi, assure-t-on.

Dans les faits, Postes Canada projette d’offrir, entre autres, un service de livraison de colis sept jours sur sept et des prix plus compétitifs à sa clientèle. Ce nouveau modèle de livraison est essentiel pour l’avenir de l’entreprise, explique la société d’État qui affirme avoir perdu 3 milliards de {dollars} depuis 2018.

Pas de retour au travail forcé, selon Ottawa

Interrogé ce matin à Montréal sur le déclenchement de cette grève, le ministre fédéral du Travail Steven MacKinnon a affirmé qu’il go well with la state of affairs de minute en minute.

Il y a beaucoup d’enjeux difficiles et épineux à la desk de négociation et bien peu de progrès enregistrés, a-t-il dit en ajoutant que toutes les ressources de son ministère sont mobilisées pour aider les events à conclure une entente.

Questionné sur la volonté du gouvernement de forcer un retour au travail des postiers, comme cela a été récemment fait dans les secteurs des ports et de l’industrie ferroviaire, Steven MacKinnon a déclaré qu’il n’en était pas là.

Nous n’envisageons pas cela pour le second. Nous investissons tous nos efforts à la desk, entre les events, afin de faciliter une entente négociée.

Le colis est roi

Au fil des années, Postes Canada est passée d’une entreprise qui livrait majoritairement du courrier à une entreprise de manutention et de livraison de colis. C’est en 2006 que les volumes de courrier ont atteint leur apogée au pays, avec 5,5 milliards de lettres traitées. En 2023, Postes Canada a livré moins de 2,2 milliards de lettres.

À l’autre extrémité du spectre, Postes Canada a livré 296 tens of millions d’articles lors de l’exercice 2023, ce qui représentait une augmentation de 3,7 % par rapport à 2022. Cependant, l’entreprise fait face à une féroce concurrence dans ce créneau. Sa half de marché dans la livraison des colis est passée de 62 % en 2019 à 29 % en 2023.

Malgré l’augmentation des livraisons en 2023, les revenus tirés de la livraison de colis par Postes Canada ont reculé de 2,5 %, à 3,4 milliards de {dollars}.

Postes Canada estime que les volumes de colis issus du commerce en ligne canadien devraient doubler au cours de la prochaine décennie, indique le plus récent rapport annuel de l’organisation.

Les 55 000 syndiqués de Postes Canada déclenchent une grève, interrompant la livraison des lettres et des colis

Le ministre fédéral du Travail, Steven MacKinnon, écarte, du moins pour l’on the spot, la possibilité de légiférer pour forcer le retour au travail des travailleurs de Postes Canada. Ceux-ci ont déclenché un arrêt de travail à minuit une minute dans la nuit de vendredi.

« Nous n’envisageons pas cela pour le second », a déclaré le ministre MacKinnon alors qu’il participait à une annonce en matière de logement à Montréal. « Nous investissons tous nos efforts à la desk entre les events afin de faciliter une entente négociée », a-t-il affirmé.

Interrogé quant à la tolérance de son gouvernement à l’approche des Fêtes, période où le rôle de Postes Canada devient essential pour plusieurs, le ministre n’a toutefois pas complètement fermé la porte à une éventuelle intervention. « Je prends ça au jour le jour. Évidemment, chaque jour est nouveau avec une nouvelle série d’enjeux. […] Le contexte dans lequel nous négocions est toujours en practice de changer, donc je n’exclus rien et je n’inclus rien. Je ne prévois rien d’autre, aujourd’hui, que d’essayer de faciliter les négociations. »

Des écarts importants

Steven MacKinnon a cependant laissé entendre qu’une resolution négociée apparaissait peu possible à courtroom terme. « Ce sont des négociations très, très difficiles, avec beaucoup d’enjeux qui séparent la gestion de Postes Canada et ses employés. Ces négociations se sont avérées extrêmement compliquées. »

Le ministre a fait valoir qu’il met toutes les ressources à sa disposition en médiation et qu’il fera tout pour faciliter le travail des deux events à la desk. « J’implore donc les deux events de continuer à dialoguer malgré l’avis de grève et l’avis de lockout qu’on vient de voir », ajoutant qu’il suivait les pourparlers « à la minute près ».

Quelques heures avant le déclenchement de la grève, le ministre MacKinnon avait déclaré qu’il avait officiellement nommé le directeur général du Service fédéral de médiation et de conciliation en tant que médiateur spécial pour soutenir les events.

Lettres et colis « ni traités, ni livrés »

La grève fera en sorte que les lettres et les colis « ne seront ni traités ni livrés », a prévenu la société d’État. Ce sont donc environ 55 000 syndiqués des postes qui sont en grève.

Le syndicat a soutenu que peu de progrès ont été réalisés dans le processus de négociation. « Postes Canada aurait pu empêcher cette grève, mais elle a refusé de négocier de véritables options aux problèmes auxquels nos membres sont confrontés chaque jour », a dénoncé le syndicat dans un communiqué.

« Au lieu de cela, Postes Canada ne nous a pas laissé le choix en menaçant de modifier nos situations de travail et d’exposer nos membres à des mises à pied », a-t-on ajouté. Le syndicat avait déposé un préavis de grève de 72 heures plus tôt cette semaine.

Ses revendications concernent entre autres les salaires, les situations de travail, le droit à un départ à la retraite « dans la dignité » et la diversification des providers offerts par le service postal public.

« La grève est une mesure de dernier recours. Nous avons encore espoir d’obtenir des conventions collectives négociées, mais pour ce faire, Postes Canada doit vouloir résoudre nos problèmes, qu’ils soient récents ou de longue date », a souligné le syndicat dans son communiqué.

La livraison interrompue

En réponse au préavis de grève, Postes Canada avait transmis au syndicat un avis de lockout, tout en faisant savoir que son intention n’était pas de s’en servir.

Dans une déclaration transmise tôt vendredi, la société d’État a confirmé que « Postes Canada cessera ses activités pendant (la) grève nationale, ce qui touchera les entreprises et des thousands and thousands de personnes au pays ».

« Il y aura des retards en raison de la grève. Le courrier et les colis ne seront ni traités ni livrés durant la grève nationale et certains bureaux de poste seront fermés. Les garanties de service seront touchées pour les articles déjà dans le réseau postal. Aucun nouvel article ne sera accepté jusqu’à la fin de l’arrêt de travail à l’échelle nationale », a-t-on mentionné.

Postes Canada a expliqué que le courrier et les colis qui se trouvent actuellement dans son réseau seront sécurisés, et qu’ils seront livrés à la reprise des activités selon le principe du premier entré, premier sorti.

« Toutefois, une grève nationale, peu importe la durée, aura une incidence sur le service bien après la fin de la grève. La fermeture d’installations à l’échelle du pays aura des répercussions sur l’ensemble du réseau nationwide de Postes Canada. Cela pourrait prendre un sure temps avant que le traitement et la livraison reviennent à la normale », a-t-on averti.

Les chèques toujours livrés

Postes Canada et le syndicat avaient précédemment convenu de continuer de livrer les chèques de prestations sociales des organismes gouvernementaux même pendant une grève. Les chèques du mois de novembre seront livrés mercredi prochain.

En 2018, lorsque les travailleurs de Postes Canada avaient amorcé des grèves tournantes dans les différentes provinces, le gouvernement fédéral avait fait adopter une loi spéciale pour forcer leur retour au travail.
