The industrial action at TotalEnergies comes as workers across Europe demand higher salaries to cope with surging inflation and a cost-of-living crisis
France’s CGT trade union denounced TotalEnergies’ conditional offer for early wage talks as “blackmail,” saying strikes that have left a third of the country’s fuel stations running short would continue.
More than 60 per cent of France’s refining capacity has been taken offline by the strikes, driving diesel prices higher and prompting the country to increase imports of the fuel. Long tailbacks formed at fuel stations in the Paris region as drivers tried to fill up before more pumps run dry. The energy ministry said that almost a third of service stations nationwide faced shortages of at least one fuel product on Sunday. Website mon-essence.fr said that more than 2,000 stations had run dry, citing data from about 30,000 users since Thursday.The strike has forced TotalEnergies’ 240,000 barrel per day Gonfreville refinery offline.
