Hundreds of Shell truckers begin strike for higher wages; some gas stations could run dry
At the break of dawn, Friday, Britain join the growing list of country facing protest over fuel. Hundreds of bus drivers who delivered fuel for shell want a hafty pay-increase, giving shell record profit. Shell station across the country has been bracing for no deliveries.
we spent the last week ensuring that all of sites are as full as possible as it can be. In fact, I checked the data yesterday and stock level on this site was as probably as high as they've ever been.u..so a lot of contingency work has been put in place to minimize the impact.
Still, with this strike expected the last 4 days since Tuesday morning, a number of shell stations are expected to start running dried this weekend.
No evidence of panic buying Friday morning, especially since all rival stations are uneffected, but it's on the mind of many drivers.
Well, we assume it will effect me because i need my transport, i'm going to sign with mother, so I do need transport, I use it quite a lot.
Living is to be a dramastic issue. Little pass, little be doubt with from sure, but it does say I can see the grood point here.
The government has an emergency measures in place if there is panic buying. Britain energy minister told CNN, the upcomming summit of oil prices in Saudi Arabia is crucial to solve the pain of pump.
The impact on our socity is something that does worry me, and it's why we doing our best to see what can be done to bring down the oil prices, to see whether there can be enhanced the production, that's the discussion in Saudi Arabia, one of the reasons I am going to Saudi myself this weekend.
Britain shows strike(some word like mild) in comparison to the violent protest in place like Spain and Portugal, but it's an another reminder that high price of oil is putting pressure on those whose livelihood depends on it.
