Jet fuel driver strike solid

More than 120 Jet fuel drivers, working out of three of the UK's major oil terminals, are on strike over punitive 20 per cent cuts in pay and to their terms and conditions. Drivers started a seven-day strike that will see fuel supplies to Jet's 381 forecourts hit. Unite reports that tankers are not crossing the picket line. On the first day, in Kingsbury, 12 Texaco trucks run by Wincanton refused to cross the picket line to work and roughly four more trucks turned back. At Immingham, no truck crossed the picket line with at least seven turning around rather than enter the site. http://www.unitetheunion.org/enoughisenough
