Date: Thursday, January 26, 2012 Re:  Belgium – Nationwide Strike January 30, 2012 Belgium – Nationwide Strike January 30, 2012 Unions have announced a national strike in Belgium for Monday January 30th, 2012 in protest of government pension plans. There will be no container in/out activity at port terminals and supplier pickups for that day will be affected. UPDATE - Italy – Transportation Strike January 23rd – 27th, 2012 has impacted road transport and port access Ongoing strike action from one transport union in Italy has resulted in no gate in/out activity at majori Italian ports and disrupted truck traffic at regional tollgates. Inland rail terminals are operating but there is congestion as a result. Scheduled pickups and deliveries to the port this week may be delayed; customers will be notified on an individual basis. Customers will be informed directly should this situation affect any pending shipments or you can login to AXIS for further detail or contact your operations representative at 732-388-0101.
