On December 13, 2023, employees at DHL in France went on strike, causing significant disruptions to package deliveries just twelve days before Christmas. Approximately 300 out of 3,000 employees halted work, demanding a profit-sharing bonus. The strike has led to the blockade of 12,000 packages daily, raising concerns for customers reliant on timely deliveries. While DHL’s management reassured that delays would be addressed, they acknowledged the challenges of increased holiday demand.
