Is this port strike thing a big deal, or a big nothingburger?

I think it could turn a big thing. Especially going into holidays etc. A couple of weeks could really challenge retail for sure.

I think it would be interesting if some sharp reporters got some UAW auto workers pinned down to comment on the port strike.

10 weeks ahead of Xmas, in a wallet sucking economy already, not knowing where fuel and heating costs will be without a port strike, let alone with?

Be interesting to see the time it takes between the port strike and auto manufacturers laying off? Do we have an over/under guess on that?

Black Friday and most holiday goods are already in DCs across the nation.

With the election coming up, spot rates already at peak season prices, and the Houthi's BS, folks were pulling as many containers in as early as they could.

The strike will largely affect the auto industry, fruit, and coffee.

Yeah, I posted that in the other thread. "But they just want to be treated fairly!" Funny. I just had to fill out my mid-year review (which affects my pay). I didn't have to beat anyone up at all! Weird, right?

Here’s a response from someone actually involved. Fwiw

I find it hilarious/nefarious that Joe Biden says he doesn't believe in intervening in labor union strikes. I guess he doesn't remember that he intervened in the railroad strike just two years ago.

He's an ***

And get this. His rationale for doing it then was that it would be a hardship on the supply chain. Because this wouldn't.

I guess we'll be hearing about ships throwing **** overboard so that they can go haul something they can actually deliver and get paid for.
