A dockworkers strike could shut down East and Gulf ports. Will it affect holiday shopping?
==========
A threatened dockworkers strike could shut down U.S. ports from Maine to Texas, affecting about 45,000 workers; the strike is set to begin on October 1, 2024, if no agreement is reached. The International Longshoremen’s Association demands higher wages and a ban on automation at 36 U.S. ports, which handle half of the nation's cargo. The last strike by the ILA was in 1977. Major ports affected include Baltimore, Philadelphia, New Orleans, and Savannah. President Biden indicated he would not intervene under the Taft-Hartley Act. Retailers have begun contingency planning, with many shipping goods early to avoid shortages. The Toy Association warns that a strike could lead to product shortages and higher prices during the critical holiday sales period, which accounts for up to 60% of annual toy sales.

Delta says five Atlanta-Mexico routes could disappear if USDOT ends Aeromexico partnership
==========
Delta Air Lines and Aeromexico are facing potential termination of their strategic partnership by the U.S. Department of Transportation. Delta says the partnership has been vital since its approval in 2016, leading to increased service and consumer choice between the U.S. and Mexico. The termination would result in reduced access, higher airfares, and job losses, impacting communities and businesses on both sides of the border. Business leaders and elected officials, including Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp and a bipartisan delegation of congressional members, have expressed strong concern over the potential cancellation of flight routes and the adverse effects on trade and jobs. The outpouring of feedback likely means a final decision won't be made until the end of October.
