Breaking: Unite’s Diana Holland press conference on Oil Tanker Drivers Dispute.
Tanker drivers employed by national fuel distribution companies have today (Wednesday, 18th April) overwhelmingly rejected proposals tabled following six days of talks at ACAS.Unite has said it will be seeking further talks with employers and are approaching ACAS to assist with this.
The decision to reject the draft document came following today’s specially-convened oil trades conference of 60 Unite oil tanker driver representatives from across the UK. Delegates expressed concern that while progress had been made on health, safety and training, proposals on maintaining standards, security of employment and sub-contracting did not give confidence that the problems gripping the industry would be addressed.
