Ports on the East and Gulf Coasts could face closures if dockworkers and the United States Maritime Alliance cannot resolve their labor contract negotiations regarding automated cargo handling.
The International Longshoremen's Association and the United States Maritime Alliance resumed talks to finalize a new labor contract, which includes provisions on automation and dockworker job security.
Dennis Monts, COO of PayCargo, warned that a strike could significantly affect the economy and supply chain, with repercussions for businesses dependent on shipping.
President-elect Trump expressed support for the union, emphasizing that automation savings do not outweigh the potential job losses it would cause for American longshoremen.
