Nationwide strikes and blockages are scheduled in France on September 10 and 18, promoted by the grassroots movement “Bloquons tout”, which emerged on social media as a reaction to government austerity measures.
According to the newspaper La Dépêche, French authorities highlight the difficulty in predicting the scale of the movement and warn about potential blockages and disruptions to strategic infrastructures, including transport, fuel depots, and logistics platforms.
Main possible impacts
*Land transportation: blockades on major highways, access to ports, and train stations.
*Airlines: risk of flight cancellations and difficulties accessing airports.
How this could affect our operations
*Freight transportation and deliveries: high risk of delays due to roadblocks.
*Rail connections: possible interruptions or suspended services, especially in the Paris region.
*Airport logistics: Flight cancellations or restrictions may delay shipments or compromise air freight receipts.
It is not yet possible to determine the full extent of the strike or its direct impact on our operations. We are closely monitoring the situation and will keep our clients informed on a case-by-case basis.
