        @BBCBreaking And started because a union official was using company resources and called a strike instead of facing the consequences

        @LadyIgraine Rubbish. Country held to ransom by multi nat. Using this dispute as cover to get out of plant. Massive over capacity in petrol

        @BBCBreaking they should not have gone on strike, so now they must pay the price. Lesson: Do not strike

        @RTWales @BBCBreaking "Do not strike".... they didn't. Try learning facts before accusations.
