The possibility of a port workers’ strike is still in play, threatening supply chains across the country:

“The  six-year master contract between the ILA — the largest union of maritime workers in North America — and the United States Maritime Alliance covering East and Gulf Coast ports is set to expire on Sept. 30. The ILA has continued to threaten to strike if a new contract is not reached by then. The contract covers six of the 10 busiest U.S. ports, handling more than 13 million containers annually. (In all, 36 ports are covered, including the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey.)“
