Strike Halts Production at Feyzin Refinery
French oil and gas company Total said on Friday it was gradually shutting down production at its 117,000 barrels-per-day Feyzin refinery and petrochemical platform near Lyon in the east of France due to a strike.
Some 190 workers at the refinery, which employs around 600, began the strike on Thursday evening after talks with management reached a deadlock over bonuses and other issues, a spokeswoman for the company said.
