Filling stations warn of strike from Apr 22

Star Online Report

Petrol pump and tank-lorry owners and workers on Saturday asked the government to meet their four-point demand by April 21, threatening of an indefinite strike from the following day if the demands are not met.
The demands are: increase in sales commission of oil, expansion of terminals at oil depots, increase of tank-lorries rent, and initiation of accident insurance for lorry drivers, reports Bangla daily Prothom Alo.
When the petrol pump and tank-lorry owners and workers enforced strike four times earlier for the same demands earlier, the government assured of fulfilling those. However, the government has yet to take any steps to meet the demands, the owners said.

They were addressing a press conference at a city hotel on Saturday.
Nazmul Haque, convenor of Bangladesh Petrol Pump and Tank-Lorry Owners-Workers’ Oikya Parishad, said they would wait till April 21 for the government to fulfil the demands. Otherwise, the Parishad will go on indefinite strike from 6:00am of April 22, he announced.
