The international supply chain crisis that has impacted U.S. logistics firms, retailers and consumers could intensify this summer.
West Coast union dockworkers may strike if they don't come to an agreement to replace their existing contract with marine terminals. The contract is set to expire at the end of June.

NOT A PROBLEM, unions are only 6% of the private workforce. So this means NOTHING to the country (well, according to one person here).
Putin did that!
They can all be replaced by machines.................Shanghai has...............
Steelworkers at Chevron refinery, California are on strike. No one even mentions them. Must not be important either. (Heard Chevron is using replacement workers)
Biden told them to start working 24/7 to clear the backlog of ships.
Did the workers ask Uncle Brandon if they could strike?
SOP.
Never let a good crisis go to waste.
Crazy Eddie ...
Good for them. Wish them all the best of luck.
more money, right? democRATS...
This strike affects the supply chain - how? We were already getting very limited delivery of goods to retail centers, and this merely relieves the pressure on the remainder of the supply chain, so the land transport can be diverted to making other deliveries, of products that are also in short supply.
What if there is a strike called, and nobody notices?
Automation.
In a few years, 90% of these “workers” will be selling apples on the street.
At my local supermarket, there is a robot that just rolls around getting in everyone’s way. That is exactly what it is supposed to be doing. People are getting used to it. There is also this guy who is constantly moving stock from the back room to the shelves. He lines the cans up, filling the front row to make the store look well stocked. He faces the labels forward, checks for out of date products. Everything he does, the robot will do soon. He is doomed. There’s another guy, he brings carts in from the parking lot, picks up trash, straitens out displays.... his job is going away too. The big new position is filling pickup and delivery orders — there are several people doing that now. Soon, 80% of the orders will be picked by robot, and the might need one human to fill out the rest of the order. They don’t wee it, even though it is rolling around, getting in there way, on purpose.
Automation has already cut the service industry in half. Now comes the other half.
More Leftists helping to create more crises. Please do. Go ahead and hurt the poitical party in power you give your money to.

The members aren’t the problem, its the leadership
Interesting...
We have been seeing more union strikes worldwide than there have been in ....whenever.
Its almost like they are globally organized.
Na, that would never happen.
BTW, what ever happened to SEIU International?
Gosh, I don’t know! /sar

You might want to read-up on how import-dependent the US is.
...on second thought, we’re all about to be shown.
The photo of the cranes look like Star Wars AT-AT Walkers.
