Verreault Dynamism and Proof of Productivity

The Verreault family has made a name for itself as a leader in the navigation, construction, transformation and repair of ships.

Since few times, the firm wants to relaunch activities around a New Development Plan supported on a medium and long term vision. Employees must support very strongly the enterprise to be able to put in place a such Development Plan. A new union affiliation does not seem to realise all the importance to be more productive in a future vision to face the international competition.

The Naval Construction Sector is probably the more Labor Intensive Sector in the economy. The enterprises in this sector must face an international competition to achieve the market forces always more and more important. The productivity is their main challenge . The situation begins to be like, at a smaller scale, a repetition of the Davie's history for which the dénouement has been delayed for a long time by a bad attitude of the workers' union.
