Call to oil
trade-unions
We want
to let you know that ELF employees of the E&P
branch, located in Paris and Pau (south west of
France) have gone on strike on April 12 against a
so-called Plan de Performance leading to the cut
of 2000 jobs. The people in Pau, a town of about
100,000 inhabitants, are particularly concerned
by this plan since 1 job lost at ELF means 3 jobs
lost in the city area.
The main point of
the strike is the occupation of the Data
Processing Center day and night, after the
closure of the computing system.
ELF has made huge
profits over the last 10 years and specially in
1998. We cant accept this human sacrifice
for the increase of the ROCE (Return on Capital
Employed). We are fighting against the increasing
power of money.
Please send your
messages to elf-resistance@wanadoo.fr and give us your Internet
address. Your experience of a similar struggle
would be much appreciated as well as information
on the situation in your company.
