French unions said today their members voted to end strikes at all oil refineries and major ports where workers have been protesting over a plan to raise the retirement age to 62.
The CFDT union said workers at the last four refineries still on strike have voted to return. At one point, all 12 refineries were closed.
The CGT union, meanwhile, said striking dock workers at Marseille’s oil terminals voted to end a protest movement that has blocked the port for weeks, leaving about 80 ships stranded at sea.
Workers in the port of Le Havre were also abandoning their action.
