The strike continues this Sunday at the TotalEnergies refineries and warehouses, in the absence of an agreement with the CGT on salary increases, with consequences that are still significant for many sectors of activity affected by fuel shortages.
On Saturday, 27.3% of the country’s service stations were considered “in difficulty”, that is, affected by the breakage of at least one of their products, according to the Minister of Energy Transition Agnès Pannier-Runacher, a slight improvement compared to the previous day (28.5%). In the Ile-de-France region, this rate was much higher: 39.9% and increased by almost three percentage points.
Voting for the continuation of the movement takes place every shift and has been renewed at all five TotalEnergie sites in France: Normandy refinery located near Le Havre, the largest in France, Donges in Loire-Atlantique, La Mède (biorefinery in Bouches-du-Rhône), Feyzin (refinery in the Rhône) and Flandres (fuel depot in the North).
Mobilization until Tuesday in the CGT
However, on Saturday punctual deliveries of fuel from Donges were possible. “We open these taps to relax the atmosphere. The goal is not to divide the French, to create tension, the goal now is to unite the French around the same demand,” Fabien said on Saturday. Private Saint-Lanne, CGT TotalEnergies secretary .
The CGT intends to continue the movement until Tuesday, a day of interprofessional “mobilization and strike” which has also been called by FO, Solidaires and the FSU. At the same time, on Sunday a march should be held against “expensive life and climate inaction”, at the call of the Nupes.
The strike at TotalEnergies sites continues despite the signing of an agreement on wage increases held overnight from Thursday to Friday with two major unions, the CFDT and the CFE-CGC. But the CGT closed the door on the discussions, dissatisfied with the employer’s proposal after almost three weeks of strike: a global “envelope” of 7% salary increase, including a 5% general increase plus an individual quota that can vary from person to person. .
