  • Consolidated Freightways demande le Chapter 11
    Une des plus anciennes et plus grandes entreprises de groupage (LTL) des Etats-Unis, Consolidated Freightways, a annoncé lundi qu’elle mettait fin à ses activités avec effet immédiat et a demandé la protection du “Chapter 11” uniquement pour permettre un processus de liquidation ordonné. Le 14 août dernier, elle avait déjà donné une indication que cela allait très mal, ayant demandé un délai pour la publication de ses résultats trimestriels. Plus de 15.500 employés (sur 18.000) ont immédiatement perdu leur emploi. Les filiales CF Airfreight et Canadian Freightways sont néanmoins sauves. Précisons d’emblée que cette faillite n’implique pas le groupe CNF (dont font partie Con-Way et Menlo Logistics), celui ayant effectué un spin-off de Consolidated Freightways en 1996.

  • USA côte Ouest: la grève des dockers semble inévitable
    L’International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) ayant quitté la table des négociations qui venaientt à peine de reprendre, la perspective d’une grève générale se précise de plus en plus. L’organisation syndicale a également mis un terme à la prolongation par tranche de 24 heures de la convention salariale qui est venue à expiration le 1er juillet dernier, ce qui ouvre la voie à des actions impliquant un ralentissement du travail dans les ports de la côte ouest.
