The standoff continues.
The CGT representatives of the oil sites of TotalEnergies on strike for three weeks to obtain wage increases, proposed "the renewal of the movement" until Wednesday at midday, said Tuesday evening Eric Sellini, CGT coordinator at the national level.
“The conflict will continue at least until Wednesday noon, and we will see what will happen next during the general meetings” of employees this Wednesday.
In addition, following the day of mobilization and strikes on Tuesday throughout France, "there will also be meetings of all the CGT organizations which will decide whether this day calls for others", added Eric Sellini. .
A question to be dealt with “at the national level”
"Beyond the refiners and the 14,000 employees of TotalEnergies, we also carry the voice of those who suffer from the fact that wages do not keep up with inflation and who see winter coming with promises of higher fuel prices. 'energy or food'.
"It is at the national level that this question must be dealt with, because we are in a very special situation," said the official.
The strike action at the call of the CGT in the refineries and depots concerned Tuesday evening the TotalEnergies sites in Normandy, Donges, La Mède, Feyzin (the depot, the refinery being stopped for technical reasons) and Flandres (depot ).
The CGT wants a 10% wage increase
The CGT did not sign the wage agreement concluded last Friday between the management and two majority unions (CFE-CGC and CFDT), providing for a general increase of 5% in wages, accompanied by individual increases and a bonus exceptional amount between 3,000 and 6,000 euros.
The union demanded a 10% increase to offset the inflation expected this year and take advantage of the exceptional income earned by the oil group in 2021.
