"In preparation for this moment, New York has been working around the clock to ensure that our grocery stores and medical facilities have the essential products they need," said New York State Governor Kathy Hochul. "It's critical for USMX and the ILA to reach a fair agreement soon that respects workers and ensures a flow of commerce through our ports. In the meantime, we will continue our efforts to minimize disruption for New Yorkers."
Governor Hochul insisted that New Yorkers should "not to rush out to the grocery store to stockpile goods, like during the pandemic," as we're not at that level yet.
The International Longshoremen's Association's contract with the United States Maritime Alliance has ended, and the union is demanding higher wages and promise that their jobs are not going to be replaced by machinery.
As a result of the shipping port strike, we could see an increase in prices in the grocery store, as well as less goods on shelves.
