French Prime Minister Elisabeth Borne has requisitioned staff at some petrol depots as the government battles to secure fuel supplies following weeks of strikes over a wage dispute. The move puts it on a collision course with the hardline CGT union.
Borne announced the government was prepared to use force to order staff at depots run by Exxon's Esso France unit back to work, with similar measures possible at TotalEnergies sites if wage talks won't bring about a solution.
