🚨https://nitter.poast.org/search?q=%23BREAKING: Over 45,000 U.S. port workers have officially gone on strike from Maine to Texas for the first time since 1977

Currently, nearly 50,000 members of the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) are on strike for the first time since 1977, stopping operations at the East and Gulf Coast ports of the United States, according to the Associated Press. The strike has disrupted the flow of many imports and exports, potentially making it one of the most significant work stoppages in decades. Dockworkers began picketing shortly after their contract expired at midnight, with no agreement in sight. There is a significant gap between the union's demands and the offer from the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX), which represents foreign-owned shipping lines, terminal operators, and port authorities. The strike is expected to block the movement of a wide range of goods through nearly all cargo ports from Maine to Texas, including everything from toys and fresh fruit to furniture, clothing, household items, and European automobiles.
