The strike should continue at the Totalnergies of Feyzin (Rhône), south of the Metropolis of Lyon. “They will not lift the strike until there is concrete on the table,” said Pedro Afonso, on Wednesday, October 19, leaving a meeting of more than three hours with the Direction of the petroleum site.
According to the delegate of the General Confederation of Labor (CGT), the framework of discussions has evolved, going from a national claim on income to negotiations at the local level, between employees and directions of each Totalnergies site. In Feyzin, the time is no longer for the increase in wages. The strikers listed ten complaints, including the hiring of four workers in precarious contracts. They only obtained the promise of an investment to improve the loading system in the shipping service, without certainty.
“We have a problem of confidence with management, we want an order form for this equipment,” said AFonso. The rebellion of the strike must vote early in the morning on Thursday, October 20. “I think the strikers will be very disappointed,” insisted the trade unionist, whose voice was covered by the roar of the tanker trucks coming out of the refinery.
“You have to do something, otherwise the country stops “
Nearly two hundred trucks were able to leave the Feyzin site during Wednesday day, to supply the service stations of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, against fifty for Monday. Obvious sign that the two staff requisition orders, taken by the prefect of the Rhône this week, have the effect of restoring an almost normal activity.
Among the ten employees requisitioned in the Totalnergies Shipping Service in Feyzin, three were in rail load, for convoys to the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region. The huge reserve tanks of the Feyzin site, visible from Highway 7 (A7) in the chemical corridor, feed 51 % of the fuel needs of the Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region.
“You have to do something, otherwise the country stops,” said Ivan Bouchier. The prefect Delegate for Security and Defense for the South-East Defense Zone wanted to defend in person “the legitimacy” of the prefectural requisitions, at the hearing of the Lyon administrative court on Wednesday afternoon. Because at the time when the unions negotiated in Feyzin, their lawyers supported an interim rate of administrative justice, to claim the suspension of the requisitions of total personnel.
