East Coast Ports Reopen As Dockworkers Strike Suspended After 3-Day Standoff | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

Work is resuming today in ports on the East Coast and in the Gulf. This comes after the dockworkers strike which began earlier this week was suspended until January. The work stoppage began when 45,000 US dockworkers walked off the job. Late yesterday, their union and the US Maritime Alliance reached a tentative agreement on wages. Had the strike continued, there were fears it would have led to shortages of daily items and skyrocketing prices. Professor of Practice - Supply Chain Management at Syracuse University in New York, Patrick Penfield, joins to tell us how a compromise was reached and whether he is surprised this strike only lasted 3 days. Reports emerged yesterday saying Florida Governor Ron DeSantis was set to send the National Guard to the ports in his state to unload goods. Penfield discusses whether that had any role in the strike ending. He shares whether there are reasons to be optimistic that a permanent deal will be reached before the January 15th deadline. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
