Dozens of U.S. industry associations have urged the White House to intervene in stalled labor negotiations between dockworkers and port operators to prevent a strike that could further disrupt the already strained global supply chains. The current labor agreement is set to expire soon, heightening concerns about potential disruptions at major U.S. ports. The risk of a port strike could severely impact the fluidity of cargo movement, a critical issue PRIMO can address with its robust network and flexible logistics solutions, ensuring continuity in transportation despite external disruptions.

• Labor Negotiations Stalled: Talks between East and Gulf coast dockworkers and port operators have broken down, with the current agreement expiring on September 30.
• Call for Presidential Intervention: Over 150 industry groups have urged President Biden to help restart negotiations to avoid a strike.
• Global Supply Chain Strain: Existing challenges, including Houthi attacks on ships, have already stretched global supply chains.
• Potential Disruptions: Even the threat of a strike can cause significant disruptions as shippers seek alternative routes.
