"
This day is a success, rejoiced Gaël Quirante, departmental secretary SUD Poste 92. In the department, we have resumed picketing habits and there are between 60 and 70% of strikers
."
According to the group, "
82% of the postal workers of the Hauts-de-Seine Courrier-Colis department had carried out their missions
".
The renewable notice was launched by the inter-union CGT, FO and SUD-PTT of the department, which had not met for 11 years.
Reinforced by other delegations from Île-de-France (Paris, Val d'Oise, Yvelines) and regions (North, Gironde, Vienne), the strikers joined from Issy-les-Moulineaux, the national headquarters of La Post on the outskirts of Paris.
At the origin of several hard conflicts with their management, the Alto Sequanese unions denounce a "
continuous deterioration of working conditions
" aggravated according to them by the reorganizations "
since the beginning of the health crisis
".
"
In the midst of Covid and while the company has made 2.1 billion euros in profits, we cannot have zero profit-sharing bonus
", continued Mr. Quirante, accused of having kidnapped executives of the group in 2010 His dismissal in March 2018, authorized against the opinion of the labor inspectorate by the then Minister of Labor, was validated at the end of January by the administrative court of Cergy-Pontoise.
The unions accuse the reorganization plans of being responsible for the loss of jobs, rest and tours.
"
This policy will result in new tragedies, suicides," warned Christophe Massé, CGT representative of Vienna.
In the next ten years, this could result in the elimination of two out of three jobs in the mail branch
”.
"
La Poste has been facing a profound change in its environment for several years, marked by a continuous drop in mail," management responded in a press release.
Some Hauts-de-Seine postal sites may be affected by a project to adapt their organization
”.
"
These projects are systematically carried out in compliance with social dialogue and without any dismissal
", assured La Poste.
"
La Poste is a high-level public service, but like all of them it is also faced with the challenges of digital development coupled with the drop in mail traffic resulting in a deterioration of its financial situation
", admitted during Questions to the government Olivia Grégoire.
The Secretary of State for Social Economy took the opportunity to indicate that the government would share "
by the end of March
" the conclusions of a mission entrusted to the former deputy Jean Launay to explore avenues allowing to "
limit the deficit of the universal postal service
".
La Poste has just announced a net profit of 2.1 billion euros in 2020, in particular thanks to the integration of CNP Assurances which contributed 3.6 billion euros to the group's net profit.
