The union counted 100% of strikers among the morning shift operators at the Flandres fuel depot (North), near Dunkirk, 80% at the Donges refinery (Loire-Atlantique), 70% at the Feyzin refinery (Rhône ) and 56% at the Normandy refinery.
"We are renewing the same terms for this start of the day", and therefore the suspension of fuel shipments from refineries to fuel depots, told AFP Eric Sellini, CGT coordinator for the TotalEnergies group.
The movement is scheduled to last two days, the national day of mobilization on Tuesday and this Wednesday, which coincides with the publication of the results of the group, which announced the best profit in its history, at 20.5 billion dollars for the year 2022.
The CGT had initially considered stopping the refineries and therefore the production of fuels, but the employees were not ready for it and wanted to first "test" themselves on a renewable strike, before possibly hardening the movement.
A meeting "with all the CGT oil unions", extended in particular to the pharmaceutical branch, is scheduled for Thursday in order to try to amplify the movement to other sectors of activity, Mr. Sellini also indicated.
