For more than three weeks, workers at the Total and Esso refineries have been on strike to demand better wages. A cessation of activities which obviously leads to fuel shortages throughout France. Indeed, a third of service stations are affected by this movement in France… But while Emmanuel Macron announced a “return to normal” during the week, calling for “responsibility” of the management of TotalEnergies and the CGT, the secretary general of “CGT-Petrole” Emmanuel Lépine said he was still uncertain about this.
On the set of “Touche pas à mon poste”, Wednesday October 12, the man indeed indicated that there was for the moment a “lack of response from management” which was a priori awaiting the end of the strike to start a dialogue.
Raymond Clash Emmanuel Lepine
While the secretary general of “CGT-Pétrole” Emmanuel Lépine revealed on the air that he received 3,000 euros a month, Raymond made it known that the strike he and the refinery workers were leading was not fair. for the French people. “You are not a society like the others, that is the problem […]. I understand your fight, but you announce salaries of 2,500 – 3,000 euros per month, bonuses of 6,000 euros and there you are putting other people in difficulty. Think of people who want to work and have no gas. Think of the people who receive 1300 euros and who suffer from inflation like you and who cannot work because they do not have their car”dropped the columnist.
“Keep in mind the fact that you are not like other people at 3000 euros a month. […] You are putting people at risk.”he concluded to the applause of the columnists around the table and the public.
