YEN: Workers at French oil port terminal extend strike
Workers at the CIM oil terminal that handles about 40 percent of French crude imports have voted to extend their strike at the Le Havre oil port hub until 1000 GMT on Wednesday, a CGT union official told Reuters.
"There will be another vote on Wednesday afternoon," the official said after Monday's vote.
Le Havre is France's second-biggest oil port and the action by workers, part of nationwide strikes against a planned labour reform, has disrupted the delivery of crude to refineries and refined products clients.
However, managers took over operations at the CIM terminal late last week and reopened pipes.
A source at the Le Havre port told Reuters that 17 managers and engineers have been operating the plant round the clock since last week after the government ordered pipes to be reopened to allow supplies to flow.
