French refinery workers rally enters third week as government forces end to blockades


Fos-sur-Mer (France) (AFP) – Following a call to strike of the French hard-left CGT union, some 200 employees gather in front of the refineries of Fos-sur-Mer and La Mede, near Marseille. Strikers demand a wage increase to cover rising inflation as well as “a fair sharing of the wealth,” after Esso-ExxonMobil made hundreds of millions in profits.
