Dockworkers walked off the job at East and Gulf Coast ports from Maine to Texas on Tuesday morning. The strike is set to disrupt major imports one month before the US election.

Port of Miami dockworkers strike near the port entrance and demand a new labor contract, on October 1, 2024 in Miami, Florida. One rule of thumb is that for each strike day, it takes nearly a week to get ports operating at normal levels. watch now"We think fears around the potential economic impacts are overdone," wrote Bradley Saunders, North America economist at Capital Economics. "Frequent shocks to supply chains in recent years have left producers more attuned to the risks of running low inventories. "There is little chance that the administration would risk jeopardizing its recent economic successes less than two months before a tightly-contested election," he said.

"A number of ocean carriers have announced their plans in terms of embargoing export cargo coming to the East Coast from the Midwest," said Rooney. Once the strike is over the Coast Guard would lead the charge in an orderly flow of vessels entering the port." "While the APAC region typically has more options to shift freight to the West Coast, over half of the automotive freight coming in today is heavily dependent on the East Coast. Port of New York/New Jersey has joined other ports that have publicly posted strike contingency plans. The vessels scheduled to come into the East Coast and Gulf ports have been traversing the ocean since early to mid-August.

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday that New Jersey can unilaterally withdraw from the longstanding Waterfront Commission Compact it has with New York to police corruption in the shipping industry in the major port the two states share. All nine of the Supreme Court's justices voted to dismiss arguments by New York in favor of forcing New Jersey to stay in the compact. "Since the first hours of our time in office, my Administration has steadfastly pursued the dissolution of the Waterfront Commission because it was the right thing to do," Murphy said. The two-member Waterfront Commission was created in 1953 by New York and New Jersey to address labor corruption in the Port of New York and New Jersey. New York claimed that the agreement "does not allow either State to unilaterally withdraw," Kavanaugh noted in his opinion.
