Potential for another port strike — SupplyChainBrain.com

There is still potential for another port strike in the United States:

“If the ILA and USMX fail to come to a deal by January 15, East and Gulf Coast ports would be looking at their second strike in three months. The first time around, retailers spent months hurrying through their shipments prior to the October work stoppage, one of several factors credited with moving the peak cargo season up from August-October to May-August. Because of that, impacts from that first, three-day strike were minimal, despite it coming at the start of the period where U.S. consumers start their holiday shopping.“
