LIBREVILLE, Apr. 2, 2008 (Thomson Financial delivered by Newstex) — A strike that halted production at Shell-Gabon and an oil terminal used by other companies since March 20 was called off late Tuesday.
The company, in which Royal Dutch Shell Plc. (NYSE:RDS A) has a 75 percent stake and the Gabon government a 25 percent stake, announcned the strike had ended after mediation by Gabonese President Omar Bongo between unions and management.
‘We are very happy,’ Arnaud Engandji, spokesman for the National Oil Workers’ Organisation, told Agence France-Presse. ‘This will change the economic and social landscape of the sector. We have obtained satisfaction on all the important points that we were asking for. So we’re lifting the strike.’
A representative of Shell-Gabon said the group was ‘satisfied’.
‘The strike is finished and that’s what we wanted. We want to thank the president and the national authorities for their efforts to find a way out that would satisfy all sides.’
The strikers did not get the dismissal of Shell-Gabon head Hans Bakker as they had demanded, Engandji conceded, but all their other demands were met.
The strike at the Gamba terminal had entirely halted production of 60,000 barrels per day by the Anglo-Dutch Shell giant, which owns it, as well as 30,000 barrels per day by other oil companies that share the facility.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
