CGT Union Calls For Additional Strike Dates For Refinery Workers

REFINING

France's CGT union called on refinery workers and other staff in the petrol sector to strike on 26 Jan for 48h and on 6 Feb for 72h, Eric Sellini, CGT coordinator at TotalEnergies said.

  • This is in addition to the previously announced strike action on 19 Jan. Strike action on the 6 Feb could be further extended and could include halting operations at refineries, Sellini said.
  • "If the conflict were to last, there would inevitably be consequences for refining operations, with potentially a stoppage of the installations in the weeks to come", he added.
  • French labour unions have called for strike action in the past days following the French prime minister’s announcement to delay retirement age by two years to 64.
