In France, fuel crisis frays nerves and workers’ resilience

A woman rides her bicycle in front of an "out of service" gas station in Paris, France, Friday, Oct. 14, 2022. Continuing strikes at TotalEnergies group refineries in France seriously disrupted fuel supplies Friday after the left-wing CGT union rejected a deal over a pay increase that two other unions had agreed to. Many gas stations have temporarily closed while awaiting deliveries. About 30% of France's gas stations are experiencing temporary shortages, with the Paris area and northern France most affected.
