A dispute over payments for working at different sites has led to a strike since 16 April at the Cattenom and Fessenheim power plants in the Alsace-Lorraine region of Northeast France. Worker employed by the SPIE DEN engineering company, subsidiary of SPIE Nucleaire, backed up the call of the FNME-CGT union federation for the same pay and conditions for all SPIE employees. FNME-CGT is also urging the EDF energy company to make sure its contractors pay the same to all their employees doing the same job.
