NELA residents react to dockworker strike, potential shortages
SUMMARY: Thousands of dock workers are on strike, demanding a 77% wage increase and a ban on automation, leading to significant disruptions at ports from Maine to Texas. This is the first strike since 1977, triggered by the expiration of the contract with the US Maritime Alliance. The Alliance has offered a 50% increase over six years, but workers are pushing for more. Experts warn that prolonged strikes could lead to price hikes and shortages of essential goods like fresh fruit, Auto Parts, and medications. President Biden has the option to activate an 80-day cooling-off period but has yet to do so.
