Question 15673 — positions

Summary

Mr. Marc Pena draws the attention of the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Industrial, Energy and Digital Sovereignty to the project to close the Marseille Provence Alpes industrial mail platform (PIC MPA), the last postal sorting center in the Bouches-du-Rhône department. Since July 2025, the La Poste group has been studying the transformation of this site into a multi-flow platform, on the grounds of a structural drop in mail volumes. However, the PIC MPA is among the most profitable platforms in the national network, having generated significant savings on its operating envelope: 1 million euros in 2023, 900,000 euros in 2024 and 700,000 euros in 2025. The project, as announced since January 2026 by the CSE of the subsidiary VIAPOSTE, provides for the closure of the PIC MPA by the end of 2027 and the transfer of mail sorting from Bouches-du-Rhône to the Mauguio PIC, in the Hérault department. This choice raises serious concerns on several levels. In terms of employment, 344 agents would face forced reclassification. As the Mauguio PIC is only looking for 150 positions, a net loss of jobs is inevitable. The proposed reclassifications mainly concern the professions of postman or post office agent, sectors themselves in sharp reduction, with a conversion to parcel trades recognized for its physical arduousness and risk of musculoskeletal disorders. In terms of quality of service, the planned logistics plan (transportation of mail from Bouches-du-Rhône to Hérault for sorting, then return the next morning via Vitrolles) would lead to a considerable lengthening of distribution times, significantly degrading the service provided to the inhabitants of the department. In ecological matter, the additional transport involved seems clearly contrary to the social and environmental responsibility commitments of the La Poste group. Pooling mail and parcel flows within the department appears much more coherent on economic, social and environmental levels. Consequently, the MP asks the Minister what the Government's position is on the closure project. of the PIC MPA and how it intends to use its influence over the La Poste group, of which the State is the majority shareholder, to suspend this project for the duration of in-depth consultation. In the event of an effective implementation of this transformation plan, he questions him on the concrete measures he intends to impose to guarantee the effective and dignified reclassification of the 344 agents concerned, beyond the obligations of the signed social pact. by La Poste. Finally, he asks him how he intends to ensure that the quality of the universal postal service will be preserved for Bouches-du-Rhône users, in accordance with La Poste's legal obligations and even though the region is already facing numerous mail delivery problems.
