On January 2nd, Jinshi data learned that a leader of a dock workers’ union in the United States and representatives of the organization representing their employers will resume contract negotiations on January 7th because the threat of a strike is looming. Faced with the deadline to reach a protocol in mid-January, next Tuesday’s negotiations are a positive sign, which is good news for importers and exporters preparing for labor disruptions. Labor disruptions would result in the closure of all major ports on the East Coast and Gulf Coast of the United States. Data compiled by the American Association of Port Authorities shows that these ports handle about half of the total container volume in the United States. However, the question of whether employers will be allowed to increase semi-automated machines at port terminals in the next labor contract may be difficult to resolve.
