Dock Workers Strike will affect East Coast Deliveries

[WKTJR1]

I've been keeping an eye on this, and reports confirm that no car carriers will be off-loaded, along with any other shipments. I'm really curious how Toyota will handle this, considering there's only so much space to store trucks at the port. Will they find alternative storage sites? How will this affect delivery dates going forward?

Deliveries will all be delayed considerably and likely on hold. Parking lots at the factory will fill and production could even slow? Unless Toyota changes to a land route avoiding the East coast ports. All based on how long the strike lasts? This strike is estimated to effect 5 billion $ per day of product!

This strike could ignite inflation again just as it was starting to cool off.

Biden will most likely not engage the Taft Hartley Act as he is pro union.

It will be interesting to how this plays out. The Longshoremen want a 77% pay raise, they declined 50%. I think the big sticking point will be port automation.

I’m never getting a pro, I’ve decided, unless they start actually delivering to Canada because of this

I figure as long as the strike continues is how much time I can add on to the waiting time for a bunch of parts I was told would arrive end of October mid November. This better not take weeks months.

The last offer had port automation off the table.
