Members of the Ghana National Petroleum Tanker Drivers Union have started a three day sit down strike.They are protesting the terrible condition of the parking yard near the Bulk Oil Storage and Transportation Kumasi Depot.The drivers complain that the facility looks very messy and unsafe whenever heavy rains fall.
Union leaders noted that repeated talks with BOST officials yielded no positive results.Apart from the bad yard, fuel tanker drivers face constant product shortages due to faulty offloading equipment at the depot.Union chairman Dominic Brenya insists the strike continues until authorities fix these operational challenges.
This sudden industrial action threatens petroleum product distribution across the country. Citizens hope management acts fast to restore normal fuel supplies before panic buying begins.
