Au Quebec, les relations du travail dans l'industrie de la construction font l'objet, depuis 1968, d'un encadrement specifique en marge du Code du travail. L'adoption et l'originalite de ce regime, qui prevoit un eventail de regles visant les rapports collectifs du travail, mais aussi l'emploi des travailleurs de la construction, sont souvent expliquees par les rivalites intersyndicales qui ont marque le secteur depuis les annees 1960. L'objectif du texte est de montrer que la mobilite provinciale des travailleurs de la construction constitue, au Quebec, une source de conflits au travail qui, bien que pouvant mettre en presence des organisations syndicates rivales, doit neanmoins etre distinguee de ees rivalites naissant du pluralisme syndical. Pour ce faire, apres avoir mis en evidence certaines caracteristiques industrielles et economiques de la construction quebecoise, nous proposons une analyse de revolution du cadre legislatif et reglementaire applicable a l'emploi dans ce secteur, en portant une attention particuliere aux conflits et manifestations qui l'ont marque. Mots clefs: emploi, mobilite de la main-d'oeuvre, conflits, droit du travail et de l'emploi, syndicalisme, industrie de la construction, Quebec In Quebec, since 1968, labour relations in the construction industry have been the subject of a specific framework beyond the Labour Code. The adoption and singularity of this undertaking, which provides for a range of rules targeting collective labour relations, but also the employment of construction workers, are often explained by the inter-union rivalries which have had a great impact on the sector since the 1960s. The objective of the article is to demonstrate that provincial mobility of construction workers constitutes, in Quebec, a source of labour conflicts, which, although it may involve rival labour organizations, must nevertheless be distinguished from the rivalries arising from union pluralism. In order to achieve our goal, besides highlighting certain industrial and economic characteristics of Quebec construction, we suggest an analysis of the evolution of the legislative and regulatory framework applicable to employment in the sector, paying special attention to conflicts and demonstrations which have marked the sector.
