The idea is to coordinate forces ahead of Tuesday, when the CGT, FO, Solidaires and FSU unions called for a strike to which they invite railway workers, port personnel and other sectors to join.
Meanwhile, a march against “the rising cost of life and climate inaction” is scheduled for tomorrow, at the initiative of the New Popular Ecologist and Social Union (Nupes), the coalition of leftist parties.
The strike at the TotalEnergies refineries continues despite the signing on Friday of a wage increase agreement (7% plus bonuses) between the firm and two majority unions, CFDT and CFE-CGC. The CGT, which is demanding a 10% increase, however, denounced the negotiation as a farce.
Where the strike was lifted this week was at the two refineries of the Esso-ExxonMobil group in France, thanks to a salary agreement on Tuesday and under pressure from the Executive, determined to intervene to force essential personnel to resume activity.
President Emmanuel Macron’s government, accused by the opposition of having mismanaged this crisis, expects a “return to normalcy” for motorists next week.
Meanwhile, the fuel shortage caused by these forceful measures initiated on September 27 continued to be a puzzle for many professionals, including farmers.
Yesterday, 28.5% of service stations in France lacked at least one type of fuel, compared to 29.2% on Thursday, the Ministry of Energy Transition indicated.
