(Boursier.com) — In a statement released on October 9, TotalEnergies reaffirms its “complete mobilization to best supply its customers in France”. The group’s management explains that because of the social movement, TotalEnergies wishes to recall the conditions and the anticipated timetable for the ‘Mandatory annual negotiation’ while reaffirming its “attachment to social dialogue, with all the actors concerned and within bodies provided for this purpose”.

This branch negotiation resulted in an agreement signed by the majority of the trade unions and provides for:
