Fuel tanker drivers supplying Shell forecourts across the UK have ended their pay dispute lifting the threat of a second four-day strike scheduled to start on Friday (June 20).
The drivers, employed by haulage firms Hoyer UK and Suckling Transport to deliver fuel to the forecourts, returned to work yesterday (Tuesday, June 17) following their first four-day strike.
The dispute ended when talks between leaders of the Unite union, representing the drivers, and managers from the haulage company reached a secret deal. Drivers will be balloted over the coming week with a recommendation to accept the deal.
