PARIS, Jan 14 (Reuters) - Workers at two of Total's (TOTF.PA) French refineries voted to end a two-day strike in protest at the possible closure of the Dunkirk refinery in northern France, a CGT union spokesman said on Thursday.

"Workers voted to end the action at the Gonfreville and Donges refineries," the union spokesman said.

"The union is now calling for another strike on Feb. 1," he said, referring to the date when Total will hold an extraordinary meeting with the central workers body to discuss the future of the Dunkirk refinery.
