After the refineries, the strike extends to nuclear power at EDF

Mobilization has gained ground in refineries, but also in the nuclear industry. The movement, which has been going on at EDF since the end of September, is more discreet. However, it could have serious consequences on electricity production at the height of winter. The context is already tense: a dozen power plants are shut down because of a corrosion problem and the authorities, fearing cuts in the event of a cold winter, are calling on the French and companies to reduce their consumption of kilowatt hours. At EDF, the mobilization extended Wednesday morning, at the call – as in oil – of the CGT (and FO). It now affects eight reactors in four nuclear power plants. Employees have indeed voted to strike in Cattenom, following the example of their colleagues from certain teams in Tricastin, Cruas and Bugey. In Gravelines, the employees voted to strike from October 13.
