Starting from December 5, France started the largest indefinite strike in history, involving more than 15 industries and organizations. It is understood that multiple unions involved in the transportation industry took joint action, and public transportation was completely paralyzed on December 5, the day of the strike. During this period, the subsequent transportation of goods arriving in and passing through France will be seriously affected.
The largest strike in French history
Organized by the French National Railway Union, France will launch a nationwide strike on December 5 to express dissatisfaction with the government's pension system reform . The strike has received responses from many departments, including public transportation, civil aviation, medical care, electricity, postal services, fire protection, police, lawyers, and provincial and municipal governments.
On December 5, there were about 270,000 protesters in 245 rallies and demonstrations across France, with about 25,000 in Paris alone .
At the same time, "Black Bloc" saboteurs and extreme "Yellow Vests" members mixed into the parade and carried out violent protest and sabotage activities such as smashing and looting.
It is reported that riot police and demonstrators clashed, and dozens of people were arrested in Paris alone. Some protesters threw objects at the police, and the police threw tear gas at the protesters.
There have been numerous incidents of violence during the protests, including the smashing of store windows and security cameras, and the setting on fire of bicycles and statues.
According to a poll conducted by the French newspaper Liberation, 62% of French people support this strike . In the future, more and more trade unions across France may join the strike. Some experts predict that France is likely to be "paralyzed until Christmas." The French strike you didn't expect
The French are romantic, and they are no exception even when it comes to strikes! On December 5th, the French brought out all the teddy bears in Paris to stand guard! Subway entrances, buses, zebra crossings, and underground passages are all filled with teddy bears. If you want to strike, then strike. Why act cute? This kind of strike is really French!
In addition, on the streets of France where the temperature is almost below zero, for the French, the nightlife has just begun! Because the French turned the strike into a music festival !
French people! You are on strike! Can you be serious! Can you! French: Don’t we have to save face by “going on strike”? Want to go clubbing? Sure! Code word: Macron step down! The transportation system is completely paralyzed
Play is play, make trouble is make trouble, don't treat the strike as a joke. Due to the strike on December 5, Paris' public transportation system was completely paralyzed!
Train traffic on 11 lines of the Paris Metro has completely stopped, and only the driverless Line 1 and Line 14 of the Paris Metro will operate normally. Only about 30% of buses and trams in Paris can run.
According to reports, the strike has caused 90% of France's TGV high-speed trains and Transilien network commuter trains to be cancelled . Air France has canceled 30% of its domestic flights and 15% of its medium-haul flights .
Many French people said that due to the strike, bicycles, scooters and mopeds have become alternative methods of transportation.
Some sellers said that the three key words for product selection: rigid demand, high frequency, and large market, were fully demonstrated during the French strike. Since bicycle sales have increased by 25% in the past week, it is estimated that the rental rate of scooters will also increase significantly. Therefore, sellers boldly chose related categories such as folding bicycles and scooters.
The editor just wants to say: Sellers like this should review their product selection knowledge !!! Really, such thoughts can be submitted to the confusing behavior awards! Sellers like this should wake up! You have goods, and France has a market, but the traffic is paralyzed and the goods can't reach the trading market! ! ! When the traffic is restored, others will stop striking, causing inventory backlogs. Wouldn't it be better to use the warehouse fees to buy spare ribs? What impact does the strike have on cross-border sellers?
From the fact that my brother-in-law has invested up to 35 billion US dollars in logistics this year, we can see how important logistics is to sellers, buyers and platforms!
The strike in France has paralyzed the road and rail transport systems, as well as other service facilities. During this period, the subsequent transportation of goods arriving in or passing through France will be seriously affected, resulting in the goods not being delivered to customers in a timely manner, which will damage the customer experience and directly affect the store's evaluation. In addition, strikes will have an impact on people's desire and ability to consume. For small and medium-sized enterprises, capital turnover will be affected to a certain extent. In serious cases, it may lead to a break in the capital chain, causing greater losses to the platform stores or the enterprises themselves.
It is so difficult to be a cross-border seller !!! You must always have a sense of crisis . Not only do you need to learn a variety of cross-border professional knowledge, but you also need to pay attention to the news and traffic conditions of the cross-border destination country, and then formulate operational strategies based on this information. In my opinion, you are not cross-border sellers, you are cross-border literary stars! Suggestions for cross-border sellers
If the strike really lasts until Christmas, it will be an unprecedented disaster for cross-border sellers shipping to France! A serious backlog of mail is inevitable. In the face of the strike, the editor gives you some suggestions to reduce losses:
1. Pay attention to the progress of this strike and make reasonable shipping arrangements in a timely manner!
2. Sellers who have already shipped goods should communicate with their agents in a timely manner to reduce losses caused by delays due to protests after the goods arrive at the port! 3. Carry out risk assessment and preventive measures! For example, always pay attention to the transportation track of the goods, and buy insurance to reduce the risks brought by the goods.
4. When the goods are delayed or lost, explain the situation to the buyer in a timely manner, be sincere and ask for the buyer's understanding.
The duration of the strike is still uncertain and will affect the transshipment, processing and delivery of goods at all stages.
In short, sellers should be on high alert, pay close attention to the relevant information about the French strike, and make risk assessments and preventive measures in advance! statement: When reprinting this article, the title and original text must not be modified, and the source and original link must be retained.
