The CGT called for a 24-hour strike Thursday in French refineries, on the eve of the expected decision of the Constitutional Council on the text of the pension reform, contested for three months by all French unions.
“
We are calling for a 24-hour strike on Thursday at all sites with a work stoppage and a halt to shipments
,” Eric Sellini, CGT coordinator at the oil group TotalEnergies, told AFP.
In the seven refineries in France, at the forefront of the protest movement (including four TotalEnergies), “
the continuous strikes are suspended, all the refineries have been operating and shipping fuel since the end of last week, and since Tuesday for the refinery of Normandy
,” said the union official.
"
But if the employees said they were stopping the strike continuously, they are not resigned to ensuring that the movement stops
," he added.
“
I think there will be another strike at TotalEnergies on Thursday
,” he said.
The day after the 12th day Thursday of mobilization of the unions against this reform, the Constitutional Council must decide whether the reform, which provides in particular for a decline in the legal retirement age from 62 to 64 years, is in conformity or not with the Constitution. .
