Tens of thousands of members of the International Longshoremen’s Association at ports from Maine to Texas began striking after their six-year contract expired.

Workers at the 36 East and Gulf coast ports involved are demanding large pay raises and a ban on automation.

The longer the strike continues, the more damage it will do to the economy and the more it could hurt the Democratic candidate for president.

“They should ensure that both sides remain at the table, continue to negotiate in good faith, and ultimately reach a deal that keeps workers on the job and goods flowing through our ports, including those in Louisiana ,” he said.

Bill Cassidy (R- LA ), who is the ranking member on the Senate Committee on Health, Education , Labor , and Pensions , previously asked Biden to intervene in a letter to the president ahead of the strike..
