Vote shuts 2 Total refineries in pay row
Print Edition
Striking Total workers have voted to shut down two oil refineries run by the French oil company due to a row with management over annual pay rises, union representatives said yesterday.
Workers at five Total refineries around France launched a strike on Friday after unions led by the CGT rejected a final offer from management for annual pay rises of up to 1.5 percent, causing talks to break down.
The CGT wants to reopen wage talks.
Employees at the 119,000-barrels-per-day Gonfreville plant in northern France have issued orders to stop production and were negotiating the sequence of the shutdown with management, said CGT leader Thierry Defresne.
The 155,000-bpd La Mede refinery near Marseille was also due to shut down yesterday.
“Management has given us a schedule for the shutdown... We are pressing to accelerate the pace,” he said. “Production will be stopped on Monday and it takes at least five days to restart it.
“In Marseille, they have already started the shutdown ... Restarting the refinery takes less time, perhaps three days.”
