Posted by | Jun 5, 2003 | |

DHL reported that the company had no problems at its Brussels hub following a brief strike by air-cargo handlers, but the International Transport Workers Federation accused the express carrier of using coercive tactics against union members. DHL spokesman Xavier de Buck said the company sorted its normal volume of 850 tons. “We were fully operational,” he said.
