The Force Ouvrière union announced on Wednesday that it was joining the strike movement for wages initiated by the CGT at TotalEnergies, which is causing fuel shortages in a third of French service stations.
"The FO unions of Donges (Loire-Atlantique), Feyzin (Rhône), Normandy (Seine-Maritime), La Mède (Bouches-du-Rhône), Grandpuits/Gargenville (Seine-et-Marne), Flandres (Nord) have all joined the legitimate strike started on September 27, 2022,” said FO in a press release.
The absence of a "social dialogue worthy of the name"
The trade union organization, which is not representative at group level but is the fourth force in the refining-petrochemical branch, deplores in particular the government's decision to requisition strikers in the event that the movement continues, and the group's communication which "let go its employees to public condemnation by passing them off as wealthy people".
FO also denounces the absence of "a social dialogue worthy of the name" in the company.
The CGT was however received Wednesday for the first time by the management since the beginning of the movement.
