Greek National Truckers Strike Possible Resumption
Don’t let it affect your supply chain!
Good Morning-Good Afternoon-Good Evening,
The Greek National Truckers Union may announce yet another strike in the following weeks! Strikes, if they take place, are expected to affect weeks 35 & 36 with dangerous dates starting from August 28th. If the strike is announced, we expect disturbances to last some 10-12 days at least this time.
As in the previous recent strikes last month that we had given an advance warning also, and had normal supply chain flow via our alternatives solutions, have in mind that in case of strike and during the strike, Union blockades will exist in national roads, port entrances, and airports, while all truckers will be participating in the strike (including container trucks, logistics delivery & pick up trucks, international transport trucks etc.), protesting in this way for the “opening” of their profession by the Greek State, as per EU regulations.
In order to have your customer’s supply chain as unaffected as possible, if second round of strikes takes place, please ask your customers to coordinate with their Greek importers/exporters, so that they schedule the shipment before or after the strikes. Last moment update is that the government seems to show some signs of retreat, satisfying partially some of the basic requirements of the truckers and also shows signs of willing to have actual and productive talks with the Unions. As this though was the case also back in July, when talks suddenly stopped and strikes started, our team will continue to keep a close monitor and update you as situation evolves, but should you not wish to receive advance updates on irregularities affecting supply chain to and out of Greece, simply click on the link at the bottom of this email. Should you wish to utilize our alternatives during the strikes, do not hesitate to contact us in advance, so that we at least advise you of alternatives and costs assisting you provide an cost and contingency idea to your customers.
For further contingency schedules even during the strikes, you can contact our dedicated team that will provide the best solution for your shipments, as we have done during 2008-09 Port Union Strikes with zero containers trapped, similar trucker strikes even during last month's - July 2010 strikes, etc., so that you can always provide the best for you and your customers, ahead of others!
