TotalEnergies SE says it will hold salary negotiations with
labor unions on Thursday evening, as the French oil-and-gas major
looks to move beyond strike action that has crippled supplies of
gasoline at its stations in the country.
The invitation comes as the French government moved to
requisition workers to ensure the outflow of gasoline from depots
owned by TotalEnergies and Exxon Mobil Corp. subsidiary Esso.
"In light of the responsible attitude shown by the teams
concerned by the requisition put in place by the government to
ensure the flow of gasoline from the depot at Dunkirk [in northern
France,] management invites all relevant labor unions...to communal
salary negotiations this evening at 8PM," the company said in a
release.
The company had previously said it would only bring forward wage
negotiations on the condition that blockages were ended.
Earlier Thursday, TotalEnergies said it would pay an
extraordinary bonus of one month's salary to all employees
worldwide. The company has since the end of last month been
struggling with strikes and blockages at its depots and refineries
as workers demand higher wages to reflect inflation and the
company's earnings.
