Re:	French port strike announced for this weekend

France port strike announced:

French dock workers will go on strike this weekend from 3pm on Saturday April 10th through 3pm on Sunday April 11th in protest of port reforms. Several vessels are scheduled to load during this time so delays are to be expected. For orders scheduled to load this weekend, status updates can be checked by logging into AXIS or by contacting your operations representative at 732-388-0101.
