East Coast Dock Workers Strike & Its Effect on Supply Chain & Consumer Impact | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

For the first time in decades, dock workers at 36 ports across the Eastern United States are on strike. The work stoppage could have a big impact on the supply chain. The president of the International Longshoremen's Association had a dire warning for consumers. Workers began walking off the job early this morning. They are demanding higher wages and they want automation on docks to be completely banned. Interim Chairperson for the Department of Supply Chain Management at Michigan State University, Jason Miller, joins to share what items will be impacted by the strike. Miller tells us what the sticking points are here. He discusses what consumers can expect next regarding pricing and shortages. President Biden has declined to intervene. Miller explains whether this could become a factor in the upcoming election. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
