France faces a critical week as many unions called for a general strike on Tuesday.

France faces a critical week as many unions called for a general strike on Tuesday. The main requirement is an increase in wages.

While the strikes at the Esso-ExxonMobil refineries ended on Friday, they continue on Monday at the TotalEnergies refineries following a call from the CGT, one of France's five largest unions.

As a result, not only refinery workers and France's largest nuclear power plant, Gravelines, are on strike on Tuesday, but workers in other professions across the country are also on strike.

Employees of the French railway SNCF announced their intention to join the strike on Tuesday.
