Port Workers Strike From East To Gulf Coast

Share

Workers at ports from Maine to Texas are hitting the picket lines in what could be the most disruptive walk-out to the U.S. economy in decades.  It could stop the flow of household goods, clothing, toys, cars and just about anything you can imagine right before the holidays kick-off.  The International Longshoremen’s Association made good on their vow to walk out unless a new contract was agreed to.  JPMorgan says the cost to the country could be roughly five-billion-dollars a day.  The White House has said it will not invoke its legal powers to intervene.
