Tanker drivers’ strike could lead to fuel shortage – COPEC
“The oil marketing companies cannot get you the products without those tanker drivers and what that adds to the woes of the Ghanaian is that if that strike is not called off within the next 48 to 72 hours, we may soon have to queue to get fuel because the supply at the various fuel stations is likely to run out.
The Chamber of Petroleum Consumers (COPEC) is concerned that the ongoing Tanker Drivers Union strike will lead to a fuel shortage.
On Tuesday, May 21, the Bulk Tanker Drivers Union and the National Association of Tanker Drivers announced an indefinite sit-down strike to demand better working conditions.
This strike action according to COPEC, if not resolved, could lead to serious repercussions.
The Executive Secretary of COPEC, Duncan Amoah, has emphasized that if the strike continues for more than 72 hours, customers may have to queue to buy fuel.
