U.S. ports from Maine to Texas face a possible shutdown due to a threatened strike by a union representing 45,000 dockworkers. The strike could result in increased prices and shortages for retailers during the holiday shopping season. The International Longshoremen’s Association demands higher wages and a ban on automation at 36 U.S. ports, which handle about half of the nation's cargo. The current contract expires soon, with no negotiations since June. Major ports such as Baltimore, New Orleans, and New York/New Jersey would be affected.
