🔁Mario Nawfal:
🇺🇸POTENTIAL LONGSHOREMEN STRIKE COULD CRIPPLE U.S. ECONOMY
The International Longshoremen's Association, representing 45,000 dockworkers, may strike on October 1, affecting ports that handle 68% of exports and 56% of imports.
A five-day strike could take a month to recover.
Workers demand higher wages and job security against automation.
With inflation rising and America facing a $36 billion food trade deficit, Rep Greene states this could become a major crisis.
Rep Greene:
“For every single day they strike it could take 6 days to catch up.
Meaning just a 5 day strike could take a month to unload and load ships at ports up and down the East coasts and Gulf coasts!”
