Strikes increase
Story link: Strikes increase
The greater the pressure on the UK economy, the greater the pressure will also be regarding employment.
Workers are facing long term insecurity so it is only natural we will be seeing hundreds more strikes over the next few months, and not just at oil based companies.
Strikes have been breaking out across the UK in support of a mass walkout by energy workers in Lincolnshire angry at the use of foreign workers.
Hundreds gathered for the third day of the original strike at Lindsey Oil Refinery after owner Total gave a £200m contract to an Italian firm.
