The strike for wages at TotalEnergies was renewed Thursday morning at the Gonfreville refinery (Seine-Maritime) and at the Feyzin depot (Rhône), but is suspended at all the other sites, indicates Eric Sellini to AFP, national coordinator of the CGT for TotalEnergies.
“The movement continues in Gonfreville and Feyzin. It is suspended everywhere else”, he indicated.
After three weeks of blockages, the employees of the “Flandres” site in Mardyck, near Dunkirk and that of La Mède in the Bouches-du-Rhône decided to resume work on Wednesday evening when the night teams were to take their quarter.
The end of the strike had been voted earlier in the day at the Donges refinery (Loire-Atlantique).
The mobilization initiated by the CGT on September 27 caused major fuel supply difficulties.
Since the start of the strike, several employees have been requisitioned at the Flandres and Feyzin depots in an attempt to maintain supplies.
The pressure increases further as the school holidays approach, when the first departures should take place on Friday evening.
At 1:00 p.m. on Wednesday, one in five service stations (20.3%) were experiencing supply difficulties on at least one fuel (compared to 24.8% on Tuesday), with situations still tense in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté ( 33.1%), Ile-de-France (30.5%) and Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes (29.4%), according to the latest figures Wednesday from the Ministry of Energy Transition.
