A driver walks past trucks in a parking area during a strike in Carregado, on the outskirts of Lisbon, June 9, 2008. Truck drivers went on strike, with picket lines put up in some places around the country, prompting fears that if the strike goes on for long it will lead to shortages at markets and shops. The government issued a statement late on Sunday, appealing to truckers not to adopt positions that would "penalise the sector itself and the country." [Agencies]
