Petrol station owners are prepared to escalate the industrial action they are taking if their demands are not met, GRTU chief executive officer Abigail Mamo said on Indepth.

Mamo was asked by TMI Editor-in-Chief Rachel Attard about the recent strike by petrol station owners, and the conditions being negotiated with the government.

Mamo was asked about the different issues pertaining to the 2020 deadline for the implementation of a EU directive passed in 2011, and which could cost the owners or taxpayers €21 million in upgrades.

The full programme will be uploaded on Friday.
