TANKER drivers at Scotland’s last oil refinery have overwhelmingly backed strike action, Unite announced today.

Hoyer drivers voted 100 per cent to take strike action on a 97 per cent turnout after they had rejected a 7 per cent pay offer from their employer, Hoyer Gas and Peroleum Logistics.

The workers, who ferry fuel from Grangemouth to Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Newcastle airports, as well as to Esso and BP forecourts around the country, have not had a pay rise since 2021, despite the company seeing its profits rocket by a staggering 369 per cent to £4.1 million between 2021 and 2022.
