Truck drivers are on strike, specifically the ones who carry dangerous stuff—like gasoline. The strike was announced months ago, but nobody gave a shit, and since yesterday there has been no gas coming into the country. This has nothing to do with the government either, it’s a matter of private companies paying their employers less than 600€ a month to drive for hours carrying dangerous materials.
As a result, people freaked out and flocked to gas stations everywhere to fill in their tanks. Where I live, the entire area, only two gas stations have gas left. In left than 12h, people sucked the country dry of gas out of fear. You’d stay in line for 30 minutes trying to get some gas, literally anywhere, and you’d risk the chance of there being nothing left for you.
Buses and taxis have shortened their services because they can’t refill. Uber has sent out notes saying they can’t provide any more services. Our local ferries have announced they can’t cross the river after Friday because that’s how long their gas lasts.
Airplanes aren’t flying, a lot of flights are being cancelled because they’re also short on fuel.
The government had to call in the fucking military, though I’m not sure what for. Whatever gas is there left, government agencies are rationing it towards emergency vehicles.
Literally the entire country is slowly freezing. My boyfriend only has enough gas til the weekend, if this situation hasn’t been solved until then, he can’t go to work. A lot of people are in the same situation. I cant be sure if I am able to get on a bus, but chances are, in a few days I won’t even be able to leave my fucking house lmao this is absolute chaos, I have never seen anything like this and it’s looking like this shit won’t be settled anytime soon because the employers absolute refuse to negotiate with the Union that set up the strike. Literally employers do not care that an entire country is frozen, with nothing, not even ambulances, and all because apparently they refuse to pay a little more than 600€
