PARIS — French workers ended their strikes at all oil refineries and at strategic fuel terminals after weeks of protests over President Nicolas Sarkozy’s plan to raise the retirement age from 60 to 62, unions and French officials said Friday.
The decisions bring to a close a series of walkouts that left motorists without gas and threatened to cripple the fuel-needy industrial sector.
The protest movement has been losing steam since Parliament this week approved the plan to reform France’s pension plan to keep it solvent.
