A Container Ship departs the Port of Newark for the Atlantic Ocean on September 30, 2024. A massive Dockworker strike at seaports on the U.S. East and Gulf coasts is expected to wreak havoc on global supply chains. The strike may lead to shortages of popular products if it continues. Various industries, including pharmaceuticals, auto, and manufacturing, could be significantly impacted. The strike is the first by the International Longshoremen's Association in nearly half a century and is expected to last one week, affecting vessels and cargo movement. Danish shipping giant Maersk warned that recovery from a one-week shutdown could take four to six weeks. Despite concerns, North America Economist at Capital Economics believes that U.S. President Joe Biden may intervene and invoke back-to-work legislation.
