The strike again, this time is the largest container transportation port in the UK, which will affect the overall freight in Europe.

Since the inflation crisis has occurred, the strike movement has continued to erupt in Europe. Especially in the United Kingdom, you will sing in the union of all walks of life, and you will debut on the economic situation that has been grilled on the fire. Recently, the 8 -day strike of Felixto, the largest container port in the UK, occupied major European media headlines.

The reason for strike is the bankruptcy of the labor and management negotiations. The portfolio of the port saying that the “7%+500 pound” salary increase plan proposed is reasonable and fair, and the union states that this plan is unacceptable. Unite chairman Slander Graham said that Felix Top and his parent company “had a lot of profits” and put the profit before “paying the decent salary to the workers”. It is reported that the inflation rate in Britain in July has reached 10.1%.

About 48%of the British container trade needs to pass the Port of Felix. For its 8 -day strike, it means that the transportation of import and export products worth 800 million pounds is affected, most of which are clothing and electronic products.
