But it's the storing of petrol that is highly dangerous.

Would this mean that the drivers will earn more money and will the longer hours be less safe?
If so surely those who voted for a stirke couldn't consciously work these longer hours, as the dispute is all about safety?

I don't think she would get far. As far as I know, no MP has
yet told people to decant the petrol from a jerry can into a glass jug in their kitchen

They aren't allowed to exceed the legally allowed number of hours by law.
