Dockworkers hit picket lines in historic US port strike that could impact prices
In 2002, a strike among workers at West Coast ports lasted 11 days before then-President George W. Bush invoked the Taft-Hartley Act and ended the standoff. However, the last time East Coast and Gulf Coast workers went on strike, in 1977, the work stoppage lasted seven weeks.
Port workers, led by ILA leader Harold Daggett, have stopped working indefinitely in a dispute over pay and automation.
The contract between the ports and about 45,000 members of the International Longshoremen’s Association expired at midnight.
