NO.1 The negotiation is broken!American truck drivers may hold a big strike!





According to the United States CNN (CNN), UPS negotiations with the US truck driver trade union's labor -funded negotiations have been ruptured a few days ago.The U.S. truck driver union stated that it would not reach a new contract and will be held on August 1st, which is expected to last for 10 days.

The US truck driver union believes that the reason for strike is UPS.The union said that during the current labor agreement contract, UPS's income almost doubled, but the two parties failed to reach an agreement on the plan to seek salary increase in trade unions.

UPS said that he still hopes to reach an agreement with the US truck driver union to avoid strikes.The UPS spokesman Glenn Zaccara said: "Our focus is on negotiations, not guessing. We still believe that we will reach an agreement that is beneficial to our employees, companies, customers, and unions."

Due to the continuous rainfall in southern Germany, the water level in the middle of the Rhine's middle reaches has risen, and freight vessels can be guaranteed at full load.However, the downstream water level in the Rhein River north of Cologne, Germany is still shallow. At present, freight vessels still need to be carried out.

As the upstream water increases, it is expected that the shipping bottlenecks caused by the decline in water levels are expected to be temporarily relieved.In June of this year, the German Federal Waterway and Shipping Administration announced that the water level in some Rhine's river channels in Germany was lower than the minimum of ensuring safety navigation, and the freight barrier on the Rhine was required to be reduced.
