Exxon employees hold signs reading 'Non striker' and 'No to the strike' (R) as they stand in front of a French CGT union member at the ExxonMobil oil refinery in Notre-Dame-de-Gravenchon, northwestern France, on May 24, 2016, during blockades and strikes at several oil refineries and fuel depots in France by protesters opposed to government labour reforms.
A strike called by the Force Ouvriere (FO) and General Confederation of Labour (CGT) French workers' unions started slowing on May 24 at the ExxonMobil oil refinery in Notre-Dame-de-Gravenchon, without disrupting operations at France's second largest refinery. Six out of eight of the refineries in France have either stopped operating or have reduced output due to strikes and blockades. / AFP / CHARLY
