This is it! Officially, the strike at TotalEnergies is finally over. And the least we can say is that it lasted a long time. Indeed, more than a month passed between the beginning of the movement and its end, which was ultimately quite gradual. Indeed, not all depots and refineries stopped the strike at the same time, on the contrary. And to tell the truth, some did not even start, and not all participated in the dispute. At the time, it was focused on raising wages, and the company announced record results in a few months. on the initiative CGTthis strike finally paid off with the workers getting a raise in line with their expectations from management.

Long mobilization

But if the majority of warehouses and oil refineries have already resumed work within a few days, the plant in Feizin, located in the Rhône, meanwhile decided to continue the mobilization. It then ran from September 27th and now finally ended on Tuesday November 8th. The announcement was made by CGT itself in a statement that couldn’t be more succinct: ” Today, after 42 days of strike, traffic at the Feizin shipping department is suspended“. Nothing more. Therefore, it is not known whether the goals of the strikers were achieved and whether their demands were heeded. We remind you, the employees also asked employment of several temporary workers.

Termination of the strike

But, to tell the truth, the consequences of this strike were hardly felt in Feizin. Indeed, all other sites have already resumed work, and stock replenishment so it was quite normal for a few days. Good news after a month of strikes and fuel shortages that have significantly affected the daily lives of motorists. But now, it seems, the situation has normalized and things are going much better.

In conditions of fuel shortage, the number of poisonings due to siphons increased 5 times.
