I've heard this new second hand. If its true, it make my work efforts a sham. I was told that the Guardian had reported that the Shell Tanker Drivers already get 36K a year.

What do the hell do they do on top of driving, to justify a pay like that.

To me any way they don't have to take the responsible decisions I have to make, in my job. And this pay strike is just pure greed. Many families have to rely on two incomes that total the amount they get.

Put your strike placards away and live in the real world.


Sadly, the amount someone earns is not proportional to the amount of work/effort they put in. It's related to their contribution towards the company's profit. Make a contribution to a the massive profit of a company and you get a share of it. Well, you should do.

I heard one comment that Shell make something like 1.5bn a week. If the tanker drivers deliver the fuel that makes just 5% of that profit then between them they help earn the company around 75m a week. I'm sure they deserve a fair chunk of those profits.

Alternatively, Shell could cut their prices a bit and stop being so fucking greedy.
