Walmart told Axios that it prepares for 'unforeseen disruptions.'
Toilet paper shortages are hitting stores across America and giving customers flashbacks to the pandemic as thenegotiations over an increase in wages and protections from automation that would threaten jobs after a contract between the ports and some 45,000 members of the International Longshoremen’s Association expired.However, experts noted that the strikes at ports from Maine to Texas are not a reason to hoard and will have zero impact on the supply of the products.
It turns out 90% of the toilet paper we use in the U.S. is produced in the U.S. The remaining 10% comes from Canada and Mexico. So there is no impact on the dock worker strike on toilet paper,” he said. While there will be some shortages caused by the strike, it will most likely be perishable goods such as fruits and vegetables for which U.S. markets depend on imports.
The bottom line is that grocery shelves in the U.S. will remain stocked as most of the food consumed is produced domestically.just as levels mostly returned to normal and could force businesses to pay shippers for delays and cause some goods to arrive late for the peak holiday shopping season.
