Dockers at Fexlistowe, the U.K.'s largest container port, recently went on an eight-day strike after wage negotiations between a terminal operator and labor unions had broken down. Asking for higher wages and better conditions to cope with inflation, 2,000 union members have taken a strike action.

In Britain, workers at railways, busses and other mass transit systems have already staged strikes to demand wage increases. The gateway port responsible for 50% of the commodities that the nation exports and imports has stopped working amid such disorders. The strike is expected to have a devastating impact on supply chains.
