TMG Digital reports that the Automobile Association (AA) has advised motorists to ensure they have fuel‚ ahead of a strike by the Chemical Energy Paper Printing Wood and Allied Workers’ Union (Ceppwawu), set to begin on Thursday.
“It is our understanding that the strike will affect all refineries and depots of petroleum companies. This strike does not include petrol pump attendants‚ but will start to impact motorists once the pumps at petrol stations start to run dry‚” the AA said. The association recommended that motorists top up their fuel tanks as regularly as reasonably possible. In addition‚ the AA said motorists should avoid taking unnecessary journeys. It is unclear how long the industrial action‚ over worker demands for a 9% pay hike‚ will last.
