Port crisis as dockworkers from Maine to Texas strike over pay sparking fears shelves will be stripped bare and prices will soar across the U.S.
The strike affecting 36 ports is the first by the union since 1977.
Supply chain experts say consumers won't see an immediate impact from the strike because most retailers stocked up on goods, moving ahead shipments of holiday gift items.
But if it goes more than a few weeks, shelves will empty, and prices will go up.
