Fuel deliveries from refineries across France were blocked by striking workers Tuesday as part of a day of widespread protests against the government’s plan to overhaul pensions, the CGT labour union said.

“The strike has begun everywhere… with deliveries blocked from all the refineries this morning,” said Eric Sellini, branch coordinator for the hard-line CGT union, which had launched a similar blockade last autumn that eventually saw petrol stations running out of fuel.
