US dock workers strike as business warns of ‘paralysis’ at ports
Ports along the US east and Gulf coasts have shut down as dock workers went on strike for the first time in nearly five decades. Tens of thousands of dockworkers represented by the International Longshoremen’s Association walked out of major US ports after their employment contract expired at midnight on Tuesday.
A prolonged shutdown could deal a significant blow to the economy since the workers control major commercial choke points.
Conditions are emerging for a broader class movement pitting the working class against US and global capitalism.
