Fuel strike over Easter ruled out by union

An Easter strike by fuel tanker drivers has been ruled out by the Unite union.

It is to join conciliation talks but said a strike could be called for after Easter if those broke down.

The government welcomed the announcement but said Unite should withdraw the threat of a strike.

Fuel sales have risen sharply this week after government warnings to motorists.

In York, a woman suffered 40% burns on Thursday when petrol ignited as she was decanting it in her kitchen.
