Strike! German railway transportation may be seriously delayed! 


On the 10th, due to the breakdown of labor negotiations, German Train Drivers' Union called a large-scale strike throughout Germany from 2:00 on the same day. It is expected that the strike will last until 18:00 on the 12th, resulting in the cancellation of about 80% of long-distance transportation services in Germany, and the complete suspension of regional trains in most federal states.


According to Deutsche Bahn, since 2 am on the 10th, a large number of employees in the field of passenger transport have joined the strike, and the freight transport even started the strike on the evening of the 9th.


In addition, German farmers also protested this week because they were dissatisfied with the government's plan to cut subsidies. Tractor and truck convoys blocked roads all over Germany earlier this week, and the Farmers Association also indicated that it would continue to protest.


According to the German Mercury News in Munich, German freight and logistics associations also went on strike to threaten the government, demanding toll reduction and diesel tax reduction.


In response, Maersk's official website recently issued an urgent warning about the strike action in Germany. It is expected that there will be serious delays in inland transportation in Germany, including the inability to deliver goods at all. It may even affect container customs clearance in Hamburg and Bremerhaven, major German ports. 




罢工!德国铁运或将严重延误!


       当地时间10日,由于劳资谈判破裂,德国火车司机工会从当日2时起在德国全境召集大规模罢工。预计罢工将持续至12日18时,导致德国全境约80%的长途运输服务被取消,大部分联邦州的区域列车也将完全停运。


       据德国铁路公司透露,从10日凌晨2时开始,已有大批客运领域的雇员加入罢工行动,而货运方面甚至从9日傍晚就开始了罢工。


       此外,本周德国农民也因不满政府计划削减补贴而发起抗议,拖拉机和卡车车队本周早些时候封锁德国各地道路,农协也表示将继续抗议。


       据德国《慕尼黑水星报》消息称,德国货运、物流等协会也罢工威胁政府,要求减免通行费和柴油税。


       对此,近日马士基官网发布了关于德国罢工行动的紧急预警。预计德国内陆运输将出现严重延误,包括货物根本无法进行交付。甚至可能会影响德国主要港口汉堡和不来梅港的集装箱清关。
