Potential Coastwide Strike: Key Update from the International Longshoremenโ€™s Association

September 18, 2024

Last week, the International Longshoremenโ€™s Association (ILA) unanimously supported a potential strike at U.S. East and Gulf Coast ports unless a new contract with employers is secured by October 1. The current Master Contract expires on September 30, and a strike could disrupt operations at six of the top ten U.S. container ports. It could result not only in impacting over half of the nationโ€™s inbound containers but also in posing risks to the holiday season’s supply chain. While the Biden administration has stayed out of these negotiations so far, like a move last used in 2002, invoking the Taft-Hartley Act to address the situation might be considered.
