DOCK WORKERS STRIKE?

[ Edited ]

Oh no! I assume this means shortages of goods

before the holidays. Some US Ports are closing.

Companies have been preparing for this for the last month, and this is mostly imported goods, cars, raw materials.

 

I can't think of a single thing that I need even for the next six months that I won't be able to find an alternative.  

 

p.s. The biggest manufacturer of toilet paper is in the US

Am pretty sure the powers that be will step in after a few days---no way can this be a long term thing----

With this strike, the devastation from Helene, and the fighting in some parts of the world I would hope the powers that be would consider stepping up and doing their jobs.

The problem with jumping the gun too quickly on Taft Hartley is that workers tend to get “railroaded” every time.
