Plans for a strike by British fuel tanker drivers could be reignited
London,EN,UK -Road Transport, by Joanna Bourke -12 January 2011: -- Up to 3,000 Unite union members are expected to be balloted over proposed industrial action this week in order to improve pay and conditions... If a national strike goes ahead, it would be led by Ron Webb, Unite's national officer for logistics, and Unite general secretary Len McCluskey... In 2008 Unite backed a four-day strike over pay for tanker drivers at Shell subcontractors Suckling Transport and Hoyer. Some 800 forecorts ran out of fuel as drivers finally settled for a 14% pay rise... (Photo from previous.presstv.ir: British fuel tanker drivers)
