Zim Employees Strike Over Sale Terms, Resume Work Under Partial Action

Around 900 Zim employees in Israel protest $4.2 billion sale to Hapag-Lloyd and FIMI, as UK Underground walkouts unfold

Approximately 900 Zim employees in Israel launched a strike over labor terms tied to the company’s planned $4.2 billion sale to Hapag-Lloyd and the FIMI fund. After initially halting local operations, workers returned on Sunday under a partial strike format—50 percent working from home and the rest from the office—with business operations and ship movements stated not to be disrupted. Negotiations continue between the workers’ union, Zim’s board and management, Hapag-Lloyd and FIMI, following an earlier labor-dispute declaration that permits further industrial action.

In the United Kingdom, London Underground drivers represented by the RMT union confirm two 24-hour walkouts beginning at midday on each day, with no service expected on the Piccadilly and Circle lines and reduced services elsewhere; further strikes are slated for May. In Bangladesh, transport workers in Kushtia ended a 32-hour stoppage after authorities gave assurances during a meeting with owners and unions, allowing bus services to resume. In India’s Telangana state, the TGSRTC JAC is mobilizing workers for an April 22 strike seeking a merger with the state government, job security, and implementation of election pledges. The actions span shipping, urban rail and road transport across Israel, the UK, Bangladesh and India.

Key Insight

The simultaneous actions in shipping and public transport span freight and commuter networks, sectors that underpin regional trade flows and daily mobility.
