Overview
- Argedis staff walked out Friday, and the company said 4% of its 182 stations were closed while the CGT put the figure near 10% with several large sites shut.
- The CGT called the stoppage to push for stronger help with commuting costs as petrol prices have jumped in recent weeks.
- The union is seeking €100 per month for fuel, saying many staff earn about €1,600 net and now spend up to €400 each month to reach work.
- TotalEnergies’ recent price cap drew more motorists to its forecourts, which workers say has increased workloads at already busy motorway stations.
- TotalEnergies declined to comment, and the union has warned of blockades that could disrupt holiday departures in the Île-de-France region.
