Georgia Ports Authority CEO warns of potential dockworker strike starting October 1, affecting 36 East/Gulf coast ports and possibly disrupting trade.

Georgia Ports Authority CEO Griff Lynch has indicated a likely dockworker strike starting October 1, affecting 36 ports along the U.S. East and Gulf coasts that handle about half of the nation's cargo. The strike follows stalled contract negotiations between the International Longshoremen's Association and the United States Maritime Alliance. While Lynch hopes the shutdown will last only a few days, a prolonged strike could disrupt trade and negatively impact the U.S. economy.
