Rail and port strikes disrupt and delay freight across Europe.
A rail strike in Germany is expected to cause delays and disruptions for rail freight on Monday, with calls for timing flexibility to aid in the movement of goods. This comes on the heels of a port pilots’ strike that ended on Monday, as well as protests in France against the president’s plan to raise the retirement age. Protestors blocking roads and highways have caused truck delays in France. The disputes have also impacted French refineries, and some regions are restricting fuel sales. The disruption has the potential to spread quickly.
