Shell tanker strike threat goes to ACAS
LAST-DITCH efforts were being made this week to avoid a strike by tanker drivers who deliver to Shell petrol stations.
Talks were due So take place at the conciliation service ACAS between the trade union Unite and representatives of Hoyer and Suckling Transport, the hauliers involved.
Approximately 650 drivers are due to strike for four days from this Friday (13 June) in a dispute over their 2008 pay deal.
The drivers have been offered a 6.5% rise, an improvement on an earlier offer, but the union argues that they should get a rise of 13% in the light of what it describes as previous pay cuts.
