StrikeRadarOPERATIONS-CRITICAL STRIKE INTELLIGENCEUnion cites risk to 880 local jobs as $3.5 billion deal advances; Kenyan court issues injunction against airport strike plan amid dispute
ZIM workers in Israel have launched an immediate strike after reports that Hapag-Lloyd and private equity firm FIMI won a tender to acquire the company for more than $3.5 billion. The workers’ committee said the board approved the deal without consulting employees and that management proposed retaining only 120 local staff, putting about 880 jobs at risk. The union demanded job guarantees for roughly 1,000 Israel-based employees and a grant worth tens of millions of dollars, and instructed staff to stop work and return home. ZIM said management is in talks with the workers’ committee to avoid a negative impact on day-to-day activity, and the buyers are expected to purchase 100% of shares and delist the company from the New York Stock Exchange.
In Kenya, the Kenya Airport Workers Union said it would proceed with a strike from Tuesday, February 17, following a seven-day ultimatum over unresolved issues including collective bargaining implementation, salary reviews, and pension terms. On February 15, however, the Labour Court granted the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority a temporary injunction restraining the Kenya Aviation Workers Union from acting on its February 9 strike notice, pending further proceedings. Both disputes involve potential disruption to key transport operations, from shipping services to airport oversight.
Concurrent labor actions in shipping and aviation indicate rising pressure on transport networks, with potential implications for cargo flows and airport operations across regions.
