PARIS, Oct 15 - The CGT union at the centre of a weeks-long strike at French oil major TotalEnergiesDespite the government requisitioning key refinery staff to get petrol flowing again, nearly a third of gas stations still have supply problems. Energy ministry data on Saturday showed 27.3% of French petrol stations are facing supply problems, down from 28.5% the previous day and 30.85% on Wednesday, when requisitioning started.TotalEnergies' more moderate CFDT and CFE-CGC unions - which represent a majority of employees - have said they agreed a 7% pay rise and a bonus payment of between 3,000 euros and 6,000 euros .
TotalEnergies confirmed the agreement on Friday. Though the deal is legally binding under French law, the CGT stand-off means strike action could continue for some time yet. The CGT previously said it wanted a 10% wage rise, citing inflation and the company's windfall profits from the global energy crisis.Reporting by Mathieu Rosemain; Editing by Kirsten Donovan
