- • 94%www.cnbc.com Port union voices unanimous support for strike, escalating U.S. supply chain fears
The risk of East Coast and Gulf Coast port workers going on strike is rising, with billions in trade for industries from energy to autos likely to be upended.
>At the conclusion of a two-day meeting of the union’s wage committee on Thursday, union members voiced unanimous support for a strike on Oct. 1 if a new contract meeting its demands doesn’t materialize. Harold Daggett, president of the ILA and the union’s chief negotiator, has said he wants a good economic deal for his members, which includes union opposition to port automation and exclusive port contracts.
>In a video featuring Daggett played before the energized crowd, he said bargaining in good faith is the only way to get an agreement and threatened a worker slowdown if the Biden administration forces the union workers back to the docks using the Taft-Hartley Act.
>A strike by the International Longshoremen’s Association, which moves the trade at the ports along the East Coast, Gulf Coast and Puerto Rico, would impact 43% of all U.S. imports and billions of dollars in trade monthly.
