Total Workers to Start Shutdown at French Refineries

http://bit.ly/9n3at1

Total refinery workers are on strike at six plants across France, and they are shutting down crude processing operations. The process of halting operations is expected to take a few days. "Workers at Total's six French refineries and seven out of 31 fuel-storage depots walked out for a third day to protest the permanent closure of oil processing at the idled Flanders plant near Dunkirk. Employees have criticized Total's decision to scale back refining in Europe while expanding in the Middle East, according to the Confederation Generale du Travail union."
