Fuel strike leaves local motorists unaffected, so far
No stations contacted by the Ladysmith Gazette indicated that they were short on fuel
While motorists in other parts of the country are rushing to fill up with fuel as a fuel strike enters its second day. service stations in and around Ladysmith are in no danger of running out of fuel within the next two or three days.
No stations contacted by the Ladysmith Gazette indicated that they were short on fuel.
BP Midland Motors stated they have more than enough fuel to last into the predicted strike duration. However, should the strike drag on for weeks, filling stations will run empty.
The Chemical Energy Paper Printing Wood & Allied Workers Union ( CEPPWAWU) have embarked on a strike that began yesterday (Thursday).
According to the Fuel Retailer Association, the strike will affect refineries, depots and in-sourced truck workers.
The union is reportedly asking for a pay increase of 9% and employers are offering only 7%.
