Labor strikes may affect transportation, causing travel cancellations, interruptions, and delays. If you’re a Travelex policyholder, we may be able to reimburse you for unexpected travel issues caused by a labor strike. To be eligible for coverage, your policy must be effective before the labor strike’s foreseeable date. Please check your confirmation of coverage and policy wording to understand your coverage, as each of our plan’s coverage can differ.
Events listed on this page will reflect the past year. Any events outside of that timeframe can be located on our archive page.
