Recently, the skies in Germany seemed to be torn apart, and torrential rain poured into the country, causing widespread flooding. Countless families were forced to evacuate, roads turned into rivers, bridges collapsed, and the whole country seemed to be plunged into a water town.
However, the leak coincided with overnight rains, just as the German Train Drivers' Union (GDL), the German Farmers' Association (DBV) and the Federal Association for Road Transport, Logistics and Handling (BGL) jointly announced a week-long nationwide strike from January 8. The strike is scheduled to culminate on January 15, when a massive demonstration will take place.
This strike is undoubtedly worse for Germany, which has already suffered from heavy rains and floods. As a result of the event, freight transport within Germany will face unprecedented disruptions. This will not only affect the daily transportation of materials, but also lead to the interruption of the ** chain, which will bring a heavy blow to the German economy.
To make matters worse, couriers such as UPS DPD may also experience some delays in the final delivery of local or onward parcels in Germany due to freight disruptions.
This means that if you have purchased items online or sent a package in Germany, you may have to wait longer to receive them.
In the face of this dilemma, Germany** and the relevant authorities are acting urgently to try to mitigate the impact of the strike and flood disaster in various ways. However, it remains to be seen when this crisis will end.
In short, at this challenging time, we hope that Germany will be able to overcome this difficult situation as soon as possible and return to the prosperity and stability it once was. At the same time, I also remind the majority of friends in Germany to pay attention to safety and take precautions in advance to deal with various emergencies that may occur.
