Strike planned in Mayotte

The La Poste offices in Mayotte may face disruptions starting on Tuesday, October 20, due to a planned strike by the CGT-MAY Poste union. The strike coincides with the arrival of the company's president and chief executive, adding pressure to the situation.

Union demands dialogue

The CGT-MAY Poste union is demanding a meeting with management and has criticized the lack of social dialogue. They argue that the company has not adequately addressed their concerns or engaged in meaningful discussions.

Workforce and workload issues

Among the main points of contention are the lack of staff and the increase in workload since Cyclone Chido. In the Mamoudzou area, the number of employees has dropped from about thirty to fifteen, with no replacements for those who left.

Logistical challenges

Postal workers have also raised issues related to difficulties in addressing, which complicate mail distribution. These logistical challenges are adding to the strain on the postal service in the region.

REGATE code dispute

Another point of tension is the REGATE codes used to identify postal entities. In Mayotte, these codes begin with 985, rather than 976, a code inherited from the island's previous status as a territorial collectivity.

Longstanding standardization request

The union has been demanding the standardization of these codes for several years, arguing that the current system creates confusion and inefficiencies in postal operations.
