France's hardline CGT union said on May 23 that workers at Elengy, which operates three LNG terminals in France, will go on strike from midnight May 23 until May 26, midnight included.
The union said that from the morning of May 24, its members will block two out of three Elengy terminals at Montoir-de-Bretagne on the Atlantic coast and at Fos Tonkin on the Mediterranean coast, where no trucks or vessels will be allowed to load or unload.
The CGT said its members at Elengy will be joining oil sector workers, whose rolling strikes over planned labor reforms have intensified in recent weeks and led to fuel supply disruptions in France.
