英国的燃油司机将因工资问题罢工, 冒着圣诞节和1月份的燃料短缺的风险.
UK fuel drivers to strike over pay, risking Christmas and January fuel shortages.
英国最大的燃料经销商塞塔斯(Certas)约有400名油轮司机准备在圣诞节和1月之间发动罢工,
Around 400 tanker drivers at Certas, the UK’s largest fuel distributor, are set to strike over Christmas and into January, disrupting fuel deliveries to 800 forecourts and homes.
这次罢工定于12月22日和1月2日两星期举行,其起因是2%的发薪条件在4.3%的通货膨胀情况下被认为不够充分。
The strikes, scheduled for December 22 and two January weeks, stem from a 2% pay offer deemed insufficient amid 4.3% inflation.
Unite工会警告,燃料供应及壳牌、皇家邮政等主要客户将面临严重中断,敦促Certas改进其服务以避免事态升级。
The Unite union warns of severe disruption to fuel supply and major clients like Shell and Royal Mail, urging Certas to improve its offer to avoid escalation.
