About 90 independent lease operators who transport fuel for the refinery are demanding Unifor remove its barricades. Day said 26 fuel transportation companies estimate they are down about $2.5-million in gross revenues since the barricades were put up in early December.Canadians should appreciate the importance of the trucking industry to move groceries and other important goods around, Day said.
Some drivers couldn’t make it to the rally because refinery gates were locked behind them while they loaded fuel earlier in the day. Regina police said the situation was resolved peacefully and these truckers were able to leave.
