Workers of Exxon Mobil Corp.-owned Esso in France will be
requisitioned in order to end a blockage at its storage depots and
refineries and restore supply at the country's gas stations, French
Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne said Tuesday.
"I have requested...the launch of the process of requisitioning
workers essential to the operation of the depots of this company,"
she told the National Assembly.
The move follows the decision by some unions to continue the
blockages despite an agreement being reached with a majority of
representatives on Monday, she said. "We cannot accept this," Ms.
Borne said.
Workers at Esso and French oil major TotalEnergies SE have been
striking since late last month, demanding wage increases. The
situation has led to shortages at French gas stations.
According to Ms. Borne, 30% of the country's gas stations had
run out of at least one product as of Monday.
She reiterated a call for dialogue between worker
representatives and employers.
