This Wednesday, 9 November, the union front in Belgium has announced a national strike that will affect all sectors to protest against the wage norm.
Many of GLS employees will be at our depots on Wednesday evening to handle the parcels, to minimize the impact of this strike.
Strikes also lead to road blocks, which affects traffic and thus accessibility to our sorting centers. Unfortunately, we have limited control over this part of our service, but we have already adjusted our transport plans and schedules to minimize processing and delivery delays.

France is facing fuel supply disruptions
France is facing fuel supply disruptions because of a strike at Total Energy company which represents 60% of fuel distribution in France. The French government is actively working with the company to solve this issue as soon as possible. This shortage has consequences for Linehauls and Last miles but also for the daily life of citizens which leads to tensions.
In this highly inflationary context in France, a union organized on Monday hub blockades in four Hubs (Paris with Fleury and Roissy, Rhônes-Alpes with Lyon and South West with Brive).
A lot of parcels could not be processed. Operational teams manage the priorities.
