Anyway it'll be interesting to see the spin from each side as to what was on the table.

Re: Petrol tanker drivers' dispute nearing strike deadline

Why don't they publish the details of the deal they rejected - what are they afraid off, the truth?

If they do go on strike, I'm not going to be nice to them once they return. I won't let them out of junctions and I'll won't leave enough space. If that inconveniences them then fine
