Impending worker strike not expected to impact Mississippi port
SUMMARY: Union dock workers are preparing for a significant strike affecting East Coast and Gulf of Mexico ports due to stalled negotiations over wage increases. The International Longshoremen’s Association is demanding a 77% pay hike over six years, while the United States Maritime Alliance has offered a 40% raise. The Port of Pascagoula in Mississippi, however, reports that operations will continue unaffected thanks to a mix of union and non-union labor. Without intervention from the Biden administration, the potential strike could disrupt the economy, impacting supply chains for essential goods like fresh fruit and coffee, as retailers brace for delays.
