Where is the PETROL STRIKE?
How come a fuel strike isnt taking place yet. The price of fuel has gone up so quickly this last fortnight that it is getting too pricey to drive anywhere, 5p a litre since last wednesday. Come on lorry drivers, please start a blockade, we need your help.
Okay, I know that it would start panic buying etc, and wed run out of fuel for a short while. I rely on my vehicles to make a living, but I got by last time and will do so again.
Answer: A fuel strike would do good! I'm sick and tired of being ripped of by a government that claims its for the people but fleeces every penny from people - the motorist especially. It's about time they started doing what other countries do and subsidise the fuel cost.
I say strike!!!!!!

What is the PETROL STRIKE all about?
Is it the price of oil? Im confused.
oi taxed, no need for that, Ive been in hospital for weeks and havent really caught up with what is going on in reality yet. Cheers for the info.
Thank you everyone for the explanation.
Answer: It has nothing to do with the price of oil, and everything to do with corporate greed.
The workforce at the Graingemouth oil refinery are striking to defend their pensions. Their employer wants to unilaterally end the current pension scheme and increase the workers' contributions.
Since the Robert Maxwell scandal in the 1980s, where it emerged that he had been raiding his employees' pension fund (and leaving hundreds of his staff with pensions that were a fraction of what they should have been), trade unions have been very sensitive about any action that is taken by a company likely to threaten pensions.
Neither the Conservative or Labour governments have taken any action to legally protect company pension funds. This is a shameful stain on both political parties.
In this case the threat of a strike was in the air for a very long time and the employer ignored it. Just for once I think that the industrial action is justified. Changes to pension schemes have been happening a lot since Maxwell and it has always resulted in a worse deal for the pensioners.
