Europe ended a weeks-long work stoppage in Germany including a hunger strike after reaching a pay deal at the weekend, labour representatives said. Edwin Atema, head of the Road Transport Due Diligence Foundation, which monitors and addresses violations of work standards in Europe, said Saturday that the striking truckers had seen their demands met. «All claims and charges against the Graefenhausen drivers are withdrawn, money has been paid and the strike is over,» he said on X, formerly known as Twitter, referring to the location in western Germany where some 80 drivers had set up a protest encampment. Atema, who led the negotiations on the labour side, said the drivers had been previously «invisible» in European road transport supply chains but achieved «fundamental changes» with their industrial action. «Not invisible anymore, but invincible,» he said.

Believing their Polish employers would not respond to their growing desperation amid the 10-week strike, some of the drivers stopped eating last month. They were demanding a total of 500,000 euros in what they said were unpaid wages.
