Tanker drivers to strike over pay

Tanker drivers could be set to strike in a dispute over pay. The drivers, who supply Shell service stations, are calling for a 13% pay hike.

Hoyer UK, the company contracted by Shell, has only offered a 6% rise.

An insider at the Unite Union told the Daily Mail: “This will bring petrol forecourts to a halt. Pickets will not be crossed.”
