What is all the fuss about?
Why don’t they just pass the added cost of doing business on to their customers and get on with doing business?
What they are doing is even stupider than our own truckers rolling around D.C.
Just pass the cost on already!
If they pass the costs on, it trickles down to the end consumers......US. An example is the fuel surcharge on plane tickets.
that's right; just pass those price hikes on to consumers, us!!!
If the gas producers can't get their gas to 'US', what are they going to do?
They cannot pass that charge to their customers because there are some other trucks or haulier companies that are doing (unlawfully) the same job for a lower cost (dumping) so little transportation companies will lost orders.
What they are applying for is the goverment to fix minimmum prices so hauliers cannot work under the stablised prices.
Who is suffering most that strike? me and the rest of Spanish people,supermarkets are under minimus and there is no gas at 60% of gasstations...
Sorry for my bad, bad english.
this strike affects only my job and only temporary, but the hight price of the gas can affect everyting, the gas is now the air of all people(food, health, information, tehnology and so on)
If we accept this, we accept high prices for everythig
the big problem is why only france and spain, there are big contries who doesn't do anything, I think that is a global problem and not only a transport problem and oters should do the same.
Good for Spain and for France and also for the transporters and THANK YOU
Well whoever reads this
FYI
Gas prices in USA 4 $ a Gallon
Gas prices in Spain 11.89 $ a Gallon
USA people ..please stop complainig so much about the price of gas in USA!!!
