Laborers at an oil refinery in Normandy, owned by Total, have begun to halt production in response to a dispute over pay and bonuses that began last week. This industrial activity is contributing to an ongoing strike in the oil sector. Workers at Total’s other refineries are also engaging in protests and work stoppages. It is unclear when the strikes will cease, and the firm has refused to comment on the issue.
