Fuel tanker operators declare strike over poor roads

Fuel tanker operators in Ghana have declared a strike over poor roads.

The industrial action commenced on Monday, June 26.

Drivers operating within the Tema Heavy Industrial area said that until they see the roads awarded to a contractor, they are not carting fuel, TV3’s George Kwening reported on Monday.

We are not saying they should fix the road entirely but we want to see machines on the road then we can calm down a little bit that indeed, they have started doing something,” one of the tanker drivers, Dr George Nyaonu said.

The strike is impacting the business of traders within the enclave, Kwening further reported.

Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) and petrol are likely to be in short supply following the strike.
