The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey said it is monitoring the situation and coordinating with partners across the supply chain for any potential impacts.
Monday, September 30, 2024 11:54PMDockworkers in the Tri-State are bracing for a possible strike as some 45,000 dockworkers at 14 ports across the east and Gulf Coast could be on the picket line at midnight Tuesday.
The union claims that foreign shippers are making a boatload of money off the hardworking backs of the longshoremen. They are also seeking better health coverage. Thirty-five inbound ships are expected to arrive over the next week and will anchor in the waters off the port for the duration of the strike.
"We even worked with the Teamsters at one point to unionize, but we couldn't do it because of the anti-trust laws," said Edison Villacis, Port Drivers Association. The Port Authority has been working closely with the commercial trucking industry to ensure cargo containing essential goods, medical supplies, and food products that have already been offloaded are moved out of Port facilities and to their final destinations.
