Possible strikes at major U.S. ports could significantly disrupt the flow of goods across the country, leading to delays and higher prices for consumers.
The potential strikes could impact a wide range of products, including clothing, holiday items, and other essential goods.
Negotiations between dockworkers and port authorities are ongoing, with a deadline of October 1st for a new labor agreement.
Retailers and businesses are expressing concerns about the potential impact of the strikes on the economy, particularly during the busy holiday season.
