There are fears that pumps at petrol station arounds the country could run dry today as a result of the strike called by labour union, Chemical Energy Paper Printing Wood and Allied Workers Union.

The strike is expected to affect mainly fuel refineries and depots impacting on delivery to filling stations.

CEPPWAWU's Clement Chitja says their members in the petroleum industry are embarking on a nationwide strike following a deadlock in wage talks.


Chitja says the reasons why they are taking this bold action is because wage negotiations weakened and did not deliver an agreement as anticipated.
