Ports Strike Causes First Shutdown In Almost 50 Years - USA

Ports Strike Causes First Shutdown In Almost 50 Years - USA

Port workers participate in a strike at the Port Houston in Texas, the United States, on October 1, 2024. About 45,000 port workers across the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts went on strike Tuesday as a midnight deadline for a new labor deal over wages and automation had passed. Tens of thousands of dockworkers have gone on strike indefinitely at ports across much of the US, threatening significant trade and economic disruption ahead of the presidential election and the busy holiday shopping season. Members of the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) walked out on Tuesday at 14 major ports along the east and gulf coasts, halting container traffic from Maine to Texas. The action marks the first such shutdown in almost 50 years. Photo by Chengyue Lao/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM
