US East Coast port strike set to start Tuesday, says union
WASHINGTON -A port strike on the U.S. East Coast and Gulf of Mexico will go ahead starting on Tuesday, the International Longshoremen’s Association union said on Sunday, signaling action that could cause delays and snarl supply chains.
"It's collective bargaining. I don't believe in Taft-Hartley," he told reporters. Presidents can intervene in labor disputes that threaten national security or safety by imposing an 80-day cooling-off period under the federal Taft-Hartley Act. Business Roundtable, which represents major U.S. business leaders, said it was"deeply concerned about the potential strike at the East Coast and Gulf Coast ports."
The dispute is worrying businesses that rely on ocean shipping to export their wares, or secure crucial imports.
