ExxonMobil announces reduction in its activities in Port-Jérôme (Normandy), which “should lead to the elimination of 677 jobs” A subsidiary of ExxonMobil, Esso France, also announced on Thursday its plan to sell its Fos-sur-Mer refinery (Bouches-du-Rhône) to the company Rhône Énergies. “We feel sadness and anger, we don’t yet know how we are going to react,” says the CSE on the Port-jurôme site.
ExxonMobil promises to initiate a “search for individual and collective solutions” for employees affected by job cuts and specifies that “no departure is envisaged before 2025” The sector employs between 5,000 and 10,000 direct jobs, according to Ufip, the union of oil companies. This reorganization of Exxon Mobil's activities in France comes against a backdrop of difficulties for employees of French oil platforms.
