Belgium - National Strike

Written by Asendia | Jan 9, 2025 11:15:00 PM
The designated operator of Belgium, bpost, asks us to inform other Union member countries and their designated operators that the major Belgian unions have called a 24-hour general strike, commencing at 00.01 CET (UTC+1) on Monday, 13 January 2025.   This industrial action may affect letter-post and parcel-post deliveries, as well as bpost’s domestic and international logistics network.   It is likely to also involve ground handlers and other airport and airline personnel, and disruption is expected with regard to the handling of inbound and outbound airmail dispatches at Brussels Airport.   Therefore, letter-post and parcel-post items arriving in Belgium on or around the day of the strike are liable to be delayed.   bpost apologizes for any inconvenience and thanks all Union member countries and their designated operators for their understanding.
