Fuel-tanker drivers in the U.K. have averted strike action that threatened to leave gasoline stations dry by voting to accept the offer from employers, according to Unite, the country’s largest labor union.
Members of the union working for seven major oil distribution firms, voted by 51 percent in favor of proposals including the introduction of an industrywide accreditation covering health safety and training, Unite said today in a statement on its website.
