At the momemt, there is NO STRIKE for anybody to stop - the "looming" strike threat was whipped up by Cameron and his cronies for political ends .....
So what is the truth about the strike?

Fuel tanker drivers have voted in favour of taking strike action in a row over terms and conditions and safety, the Unite union has said.
About 2,000 drivers at seven distribution depots took part in the ballot in what was the first national industrial action campaign for more than 10 years.
Unite said five of the seven depots backed strike action, while two did not. Of those five, the vote in favour was 69%. Turnouts across the five averaged 77.7%.
"Drivers have voted for a strike, but each employer and Unite should now get back around the table to discuss the issues raised. Going ahead with strike action would have a real impact on people across the country," said John Cridland, CBI director general.

When could a strike be called?
Not before, or even over, Easter - a strike then has been ruled out by Unite. It is to join conciliation talks and says there may still be a strike after Easter if those fail.
