The FedEx employees of Liege Airport are staging a 48-hour strike in view of yesterday's announcement by the carrier of the dismissal of close to 700 people. No FedEx planes are being handled at Liege Airport. Another strike in progress at FedEx in LGG ! https://www.rtbf.be/info/regions/liege/detai...
