Contract between ports and about 45,000 members of the International Longshoremen’s Association expired at midnight .

The union wants a fair contract that doesn’t allow automation of their jobs.

The strike comes just weeks before the presidential election and could become a factor if there are shortages.

A strike that shuts the East and Gulf coast ports could cost the economy $3.8 billion to $4 billion per day.
