The dockworker strike at ports along the Eastern Seaboard and Gulf Coast has sparked consumer panic buying and dire forecasts from economists, significantly impacting the supply chain.
Food supplies, like bananas and tropical fruits, will see shortages first as stores have lean inventories, with 75% of U.S. bananas coming through just these ports.
Non-perishable goods and factory supplies will face shortages later since retailers had time to prepare for the dockworker strike, stocking up on essential products.
This strike is significant as it marks the first work stoppage of this kind since 1977, affecting over half of U.S. sea imports.
