Kamala Harris always thought that Joe Biden had her back.
But he betrayed her in a way she never expected.
And Joe Biden created a nightmare for Kamala Harris when he made this big decision.
A strike could shut down every port on the eastern seaboard
A potential October surprise is in the works that could throw a monkey wrench into the country’s supply chain.
Every port from Texas to Maine could be shut down by a strike on October 1.
The International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA), which represents 45,000 dock workers, is prepared to go on strike if a new contract can’t be reached with the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX), the group representing port owners, by September 30.
And the union is ready to hit the picket line.
“Mark my words, the ILA most definitely will hit the streets on October 1 … if we don’t get the contract we deserve,” ILA President Harold Daggett said. “We’ll shut them down.”
President Joe Biden, who is in the pocket of the union bosses, has the authority to stop a strike under the Taft-Hartley Act if it’s a threat to national security.
The Biden-Harris regime is encouraging both sides to solve the dispute at the negotiating table.
But the President won’t intervene if the ILA goes out on strike.
“Since taking office, the Biden-Harris Administration has developed a comprehensive whole-of-government approach to monitor and mitigate potential supply chain impacts, from severe weather to transport service interruptions to this spring’s Key Bridge collapse in Baltimore,” a Biden-Harris official claimed. “We’ve never invoked Taft-Hartley to break a strike and are not considering doing so now.”
Shutting down ports could cause chaos and hurt Kamala
America has some of the most inefficient ports in the world because Big Labor has fought against automation.
The ILA is fighting tooth and nail to keep any more automation from coming to America’s ports.
A JPMorgan Chase analysis found that a strike would cost the economy as much as $5 billion a day.
And the logistics would make it impossible to reroute ships to ports on the West Coast.
SanMar vice president of global supply chain John Janson told Promotional Products Association International that a strike “would have a catastrophic effect on the overall U.S. economy.”
American ports handled more than $2 trillion in trade last year, and 72% of that went through the ports in the Gulf and East Coast.
October is when most of the goods that are going to be sold on Black Friday and Cyber Monday are coming into the country.
Even a short strike could create a bottleneck at the ports that could potentially last past Election Day.
Amazon deliveries could grind to a halt, and major retailers could have empty shelves.
Joe Biden vowed that he would be the most “pro-union” President in history.
His final gift to Kamala Harris could be a strike that cripples America’s supply chain at the peak of election season.
