Strikes in Felixstowe and Liverpool a double whammy to UK’s overstressed Supply Chain
Europe’s overstretched supply chains are experiencing a double whammy of disruptions as transport unions in Felixstowe and now in Liverpool prepare for labour strikes later this month in response to soaring inflation; according to the analysis published by Container xChange, a technology platform for managing container operations.
The strikes will lead to port closures stretched up to more than a week. Followed by this will be the Golden week in China (1-7 October when the factories are shut in China) which will further lead to work stoppages in Chinese ports.
