    From BBC:

    "Fuel drivers accept 14% pay rise

    The four-day strike by 640 tanker drivers disrupted fuel supplies

    Tanker drivers delivering fuel for Shell, whose four-day strike disrupted UK fuel supplies, have formally accepted a 14% pay rise over two years.
    The increase will be worth 9% in the first year and 5% in the second.

    Their union said a driver working a 48-hour week would earn £36,000 a year, while companies said the average salary was £40,000.

    1 (one) £ = $1.98

    Unite said members at hauliers Hoyer UK and Suckling Transport had voted in favour of the deal by 453 to 56.

    Gerry McKenna, lead negotiator for Hoyer, said: "We are pleased our drivers have accepted this competitive pay deal and the threat of industrial action has been lifted."

    The drivers had threatened to hold a second round of strikes starting last Friday had an agreement not been reached.

    The stoppage by about 600 drivers started on 13 June, and led to hundreds of petrol stations across Britain running out of fuel.

    The government has warned about inflationary pay rises, but said this deal was "particular" to the industry."
