Planned redundancies related to a Hydro-desulfurization project
at Total SA's (TOT) 200,000-barrel-a-day Lindsey oil refinery in
Lincolnshire, eastern England, have led to the walkout of 1,200
contractors, the company said in a statement.
The walkout, now in its second day, was triggered after "some of
the workforce workers" were served with 'at risk of redundancy'
letters, a Total spokesman told Dow Jones Newswires Thursday.
