•Looming Port Strikes Worrying News for Kamala Harris
81% Informative
The first national strike of maritime workers in nearly 50 years could be on the way.
A six-year master contract between the country's largest union and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) will come to an end on September 30 .
If no deal is reached by then, strikes will begin the following day on October 1 .
The dispute between the union and USMX has arisen over pay disputes and arguments over continued protections against automation in the industry.
The last time a president invoked the Taft -Hartley Act was in 2002 by President George W. Bush , during the West Coast port lockout.
Experts warn that few goods will be exempt from the potential trouble, which is likely to mean higher prices due to lower availability.
The longer the strike goes on, the more difficult it will be for businesses to pass on to consumers.
