Port strike

Dockworkers strike at the Bayport Container Terminal in Seabrook, Texas, on October 1, 2024. Officials at 14 ports along the US East and Gulf Coasts were making last-minute preparations on September 30 for a likely labor strike that could drag on the US economy just ahead of a presidential election -- despite last-minute talks.

Massive port strike begins across the East Coast, threatening shortages and rising prices

Dockworkers strike outside of the Port of Houston Authority on October 01, 2024 in Houston, Texas. Members of the International Longshoreman's Association have begun a nationwide strike, consisting of more than 50,000 workers at ports along the East Coast and Texas. The strike, affecting 36 ports, marks a historic event and is the first by the union since 1977. The strike comes after negotiations between the International Longshoreman's Association and the United States Maritime Alliance failed to reach an agreement on better wages and automation that could phase out union workers.
