Farmers’ protests and GDL strike
As part of a nationwide week of action by the farmers’ association, there will be considerable traffic disruptions from 8 to 15 January 2024 due to targeted road and motorway blockades. At the same time, the strike announced by the German Train Drivers’ Union (GDL) from 9 to 12 January 2024 will paralyse large parts of rail traffic. We expect massive restrictions to the transport infrastructure and will continuously analyse the effects of the protests in order to avoid damage to goods or missed delivery deadlines wherever possible.
Should it transpire that road blockades in particular are causing obstacles to deliveries, we will inform you in good time and ask for instructions if necessary.
Please be assured that we will do everything in our power to minimise the negative impact on your and our business.
