FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda British drivers will face massive disruptions with petrol pumps running dry after majority of the Unite union members, who supply fuel to 90% of the UK’s forecourts via seven companies, planned to strike against the terms and conditions.
The strike plan would push the country to a crippling standstill, with drivers being unable to find enough petrol, and businesses or organisations like the NHS struggling to work properly.
Britain came to a standstill for a week in September 2000 after the protesters blocked the refineries. Accordingly, petrol stations ran dry and people were angered for failing to buy enough fuel.
Diana Holland, Unite Assistant General Secretary, stressed that the votes have sent a clear message throughout the industry, urging the major companies to establish minimum standards for the union members.
“This is not about pay – this is about ensuring that high safety and training standards are maintained, so that our communities are safe,” Holland said.
The government condemned the strike action, and announced plans to call in army personnel to drive fuel tankers if the protesters plan to go ahead with the national walkout.
Gasoline prices have already hit record highs in Britain after Iran cut its oil sales to the UK and several other European countries. Last week, the average cost of one liter of unleaded gasoline reached more than 140 pence. Analysts also expect that the price of gasoline could reach 150 pence a liter.
Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change, Ed Davey voiced his disappointment over the ballot result, insisting the strike action was “wrong and unnecessary” since it would affect millions of people all over the country. He also claimed that the government has “robust resilience and contingency plans” to handle the national strike action.
