Au Québec, les relations du travail dans l'industrie de la construction font l'objet, depuis 1968, d'un encadrement spécifique en marge du Code du travail. L'adoption et l'originalité de ce régime, qui prévoit un éventail de règles visant les rapports collectifs du travail, mais aussi l'emploi des travailleurs de la construction, sont souvent expliquées par les rivalités intersyndicales qui ont marqué le secteur depuis les années 1960. L'objectif du texte est de montrer que la mobilité provinciale des travailleurs de la construction constitue, au Québec, une source de conflits au travail qui, bien que pouvant mettre en présence des organisations syndicales rivales, doit néanmoins être distinguée de ces rivalités naissant du pluralisme syndical. Pour ce faire, après avoir mis en évidence certaines caractéristiques industrielles et économiques de la construction québécoise, nous proposons une analyse de l'évolution du cadre législatif et réglementaire applicable à l'emploi dans ce secteur, en portant une attention particulière aux conflits et manifestations qui l'ont marqué. 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.
