I'm pretty close to this dispute - my department manages the secondary distibution of approx. 150 million litres of fuel each week to our forecourts. Whilst I'm not involved on a day to day basis with fuel (I manage our rail network), I have been more involved in the last couple of weeks
There are lots of other people who are 'pretty close' to the dispute who say it is the main reason. What unique insight can you offer to convince us to trust you over all those other people?

H&S doesn't get your average man to strike. It is just a PR exercise in trumpeting up minor concerns because they make better soundbites than the real reasons behind the strikes. |

I believe the primary objection is the continued erosion of employee terms & conditions as each new contract has been awarded. If you think this would not have any concomitant effect on H&S, then I believe you're wrong.

You've caught me out. I'm not "pretty close". I lied. I don't work for a retailer who sells >150 million litres of fuel each week. I wasn't involved in the decision making and re-tendering process of the largest secondary fuel distribution contract for 25 years after TDG were bought by ND last year. I haven't met with Justine Greening a couple of times this year, most recently last week in London, to discuss mode shift and fuel distribution. |

I bet that was fun. Did you tell her that Desparate Dan wants his chin back and Oliver Cromwell wants to know when she'll be finished with his warts? |

She must've been bloody well briefed then because she's never come across as particularly bright or knowledgeable on transport matters.

And all you do on those three shifts is get your head down, safe in the knowledge that the alarm will sound in time for you to switch the points for the 03.45 up-train to Much Binding in the Marsh |
