🚨 Dockworkers' Strike Hits 14 U.S. East and Gulf Coast Ports 45,000 dockworkers have officially gone on strike as of October 1st, affecting major ports from Boston to Houston. The disruption is expected to significantly impact supply chains, with recovery taking 5-7 days for every day of the strike. J.P. Morgan projects a potential $5 billion daily cost to the U.S. economy. Despite last-minute negotiations, no agreement was reached between the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX) and the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA). Concerns over automation and stagnant wages are at the heart of the dispute, marking the first East Coast dockworkers' walkout since 1977. This strike could greatly impact the automotive aftermarket industry, risking up to $340M per day in lost imports. 25% of automotive parts flow through these affected ports, with ripple effects expected across other U.S. ports. The Auto Care Association urges President Biden to work with both parties in reaching a resolution.

🚨 Urgent Call to Action: Preventing a Port Strike! 🚨 Last week, the Auto Care Association joined over 170 industry groups urging President Biden to mediate labor negotiations between the U.S. Maritime Alliance and the International Longshoremen’s Association. With a potential strike looming on October 1, the impact could be dire: over 85,000 dockworkers are demanding higher wages and restrictions on automation at key East Coast and Gulf ports. A disruption could severely affect the automotive aftermarket, risking delays in critical auto part deliveries and straining supply chains. With over 4 million jobs on the line, the stakes are high! As ports consider contingency plans, we hope for swift negotiations to keep goods flowing and support the economy. Let’s rally for a resolution!
