(Bloomberg) — Some tanker drivers are set to strike in late March, disrupting supply of fuels to a chain of filling stations owned by Phillips 66, according to the Unite union.
More than 40 drivers employed by hauliers that deliver fuel to Jet-branded pumps have voted to strike from 4am on March 27, the union said in a statement. The labor action — which ranges from an initial week to continuous — will affect filling stations in Scotland, as well as areas of England.
The strike has been called because tanker drivers from some distributors are earning less than other hauliers on the same contract, according to the union.Â
A UK-based spokeswoman for Phillips 66 didn’t immediately respond to an email seeking comment.
