Rotterdam Strike Shuts Down Europe's Biggest Port

A wave of strikes is paralyzing Europe's freight corridors, with major disruptions reported at the ports of Rotterdam, Antwerp, and Zeebrugge, as well as in Belgium's air freight sector.

Dockworkers, pilots, and ground staff are staging industrial action over pay and pension disputes, threatening to ripple through European supply chains in the coming days.

After nearly a week of disruption at Europe's largest seaport, the District Court of Rotterdam has ruled that the ongoing strike by lashing workers must be temporarily suspended during weekdays.

The industrial action may continue only at weekends, while negotiations between the union and employers proceed.
