T...In one word, politicians.<br /> There is no shortage.<br />The main problem is that the unions are worried about safety standards. <br />They balloted their members, who approved strike action by ballot. They then go back to the management with that fact as a lever. <br />This does not mean that there will be a strike, just the possibility.<br />Any strike would have to give seven working days' notice anyway.<br /><br />Then the politicians go around saying "don't panic"...but keep your tank topped up and store fuel in jerrycans.... so people DO panic and that = a shortage.gzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08034777779347889773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4870567611655050982.post-39901890092603107242012-03-31T17:28:40.798+01:002012-03-31T17:28:40.798+01:00please forgive my ignorance but what is causing th...please forgive my ignorance but what is causing the fuel shortages? price jumps? we have had a sudden and unexpected increase in fuel prices here this passed week but I was unaware that it was a worldwide phenomenacargillwitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06948839908080737239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4870567611655050982.post-72242610378572270762012-03-30T05:41:45.449+01:002012-03-30T05:41:45.449+01:00Prepare to become jealous...
