# Update 3: Ongoing Swedish Dockworkers Union strike in Swedish ports

		 | Green Cargo

> The Swedish Dockworkers Union continued its strike across Swedish ports, with targeted terminal stoppages through June 9. Ports of Sweden accepted a mediators' proposal that the union declined. Green Cargo said the action is likely to cause train cancellations and reduced rail capacity and invoked force majeure.
