By Brian Lysaght
May 31 (Bloomberg) — More than 500 truck drivers who work at Royal Dutch Shell Plc terminals across Britain may go on strike in a dispute with their employer, German logistics company Hoyer Group, the South Shields, England,Gazette newspaper reported.
The drivers, members of the Unite union, voted yesterday in favor of a strike in a contract dispute over pay, the newspaper reported, citing Unite’s road transport secretary. The drivers, who make 34,000 pounds a year ($67,000) are seeking a pay raise of 2,000 pounds, the newspaper said.
A Unite union spokeswoman didn’t return phone calls, and a Hoyer spokesman couldn’t be reached.
Shell said in a statement that it’s not involved in the negotiations and urged both sides to reach a “speedy agreement.”

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
