France braces for a nationwide transport strike action as the government and unions remain in deadlock over walkouts at oil depots
Motorists scrambled to fill tanks as the fuel strike, which has lasted for nearly three weeks, cripples supplies at just over 30 percent of France's service stations.
The government, increasingly impatient with the striking workers, said it was forcing key staff back to work. Fuel workers voted to continue stoppages at several refineries run by TotalEnergies, the coordinator for the hard-left CGT union Eric Sellini said, rejecting a pay package agreed between the group's management and mainstream unions.
Suburban services in the Paris region as well as bus services will also be imp acted, operator RATP said, but the inner-Paris metro system should be mostly unaffected.
