The government of French President Emmanuel Macron is losing patience with strikers, who have gathered support by his political rivals on the left
Industries across France went on strike Tuesday to push for pay hikes that keep up with rising inflation, ramping up the clash between workers and the government after weeks of walkouts that hobbled oil refineries and sparked gasoline shortages around the country.
“It’s been two weeks,” Mahrouk said while queuing for fuel at a Paris gas station. “It’s starting to be too long now a solution needs to be found.” Tuesday’s protests in France come after the left-wing CGT union rejected a deal over a pay increase that oil giant TotalEnergies struck with two other unions Friday. The CFDT and CFE-CGC unions, which together represent a majority of the group’s French workers, agreed to a 7 per cent pay rise and a financial bonus.
Long lines of cars have been seen for weeks across France as drivers waited – sometimes for hours – to fill up. Many gas stations have temporarily closed while awaiting deliveries. About 30 per cent of France’s gas stations are experiencing temporary shortages, with the Paris area and northern France most affected.
