US retailers brace for potential pain from a longshoremen’s strike
==========
A dockworkers’ strike is set to begin at 12:01 a.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, impacting ports on the East and Gulf coasts; Chris Butler, CEO of National Tree Company, warns that 150,000 artificial Christmas trees may not arrive in time for the holiday season; the strike could affect 45,000 members of the International Longshoremen’s Association, potentially closing 36 ports from Maine to Texas; the Biden administration is urged to intervene, but no talks are scheduled before the contract expires; the union demands higher wages and a ban on automation; a prolonged strike could raise inflation and impact small businesses; the Toy Association and National Grain and Feed Association have called for action to prevent the strike; port directors express confidence in their operations; the strike could disrupt a global supply chain already affected by geopolitical tensions.
