foxfan 479 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 (edited) Ha, just got back from a weekend away, and this is the first thread i see ! The Governmental and judicial system we HAD (past tense) was the best in the world, even the Romans kept our laws in place after they invaded. Lets get back to that fair system, no matter what it takes ! (peaceful, of course) Edited April 2, 2012 by foxfan 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JohnGalway 1,043 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 That's nice, but I'm confused by anyone who'd support the action. AFAIK and feel free to correct me, fuel tanker drivers are threatening strike due to their wages - not due to the price YOU pay at the pump, right? 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the haulage companies are going to take the risk they shouldn't take a financial one. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TOPPER 1,809 Posted April 1, 2012 Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 john the tanker drivers ARE NOT striking over wages it safety issues as all the big fuel companies are subbin out to genral haulage companies who are tryin to use untrained drivers, they have a trained and inducted driver go into the terminal and load then go back to the yard and swap over with an untrained driver to go and deliver the load fcking madness the whole industry is getting to be a joke 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waz 4,293 Posted April 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2012 If this is successful then I can see a lot of other people starting to strike with the added confidence of others joining to add support and add their own issues. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The first step on a journey is the longest This isn't just our problem it's worldwide... Look at the Arab Spring and see how many countries followed suit after being sick to death of all the years of criminal mistreatment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
