While the CGT calls for a renewable strike in refineries from March 6, the Drivers Defense League (LDC) remains wary of the risk of fuel shortages.
Mars could be lively, for motorists. Indeed, the CGT has announced a renewable strike in the refineries from the 6th of this month. The union and the employees are protesting against the pension reform, examined to be voted on or not in the weeks to come.
An element that could lead gas stations to run out of fuel, as was the case in October 2022. Nevertheless predictions are still difficult to make. Witness Alexandra Legendre, of the Drivers Defense League. “It’s hard to say” if the situation will be the same as in October. “If the CGT does its part, yes”she believes, however.
Our interlocutor also notes that this strike period will not fall “not on vacation”. What will not, however, improve the daily lives of workersin the event of a shortage following a long strike.
“France at a standstill” in the coming weeks following the strike in the refineries?
Remember that the CGT is calling for refineries and “France at a standstill”, from next March 6. This for a renewable strike, whose announced high point is set for March 7. However, the CGT chemicals federation (Fnic-CGT; oil, rubber, plastics, health industries) announces this high point on the evening of March 6.
