U.S. dockworkers at ports along the East and Gulf Coasts have launched their first major strike in decades after failing to reach a labor agreement by the Oct. 1 deadline. The United States Maritime Alliance and the International Longshoremen’s Association , which represents 45,000 dockworkers, had been negotiating throughout the summer, but talks broke down over issues including wages and automation. The strike could have a significant economic impact, with The Conference Board estimating a one-week strike could cost the U.S. $3.78 billion, affecting 57% of container volume. https://lnkd.in/gNesjH5m
