What to buy now during U.S. port strike

With a U.S. port strike stopping the flow of some goods, it might not take long until shoppers are impacted. Karin Caifa looks at the items that may get pricey as the strike continues.

All of this has to be pre-planned right? Right in time for the election 😂

It won’t last more than 1-2 weeks. They will solve this very soon. I’m more concerned about ww3.

[merovingian]

If I don’t get my bananas I’m going to go bananas.

When we don't have food to eat, neither do they. So, there's that they should think about.

[bobchannell]

So they expect the ports to not use automation?

[lozu]

Canada, Mexico and domestic manufacturers should take advantage of this strike - none of these entities need the ports.

[JayRoberts]

Turning down a 50% raise and demanding 77%??? Unions are doing their best to ensure automation happens even faster.
F these guys

[rampar]

Most Europe and Asia Ports are automated per new technolgy. These over paid union workers should be layoff. Labor had no value in the U.S.

Automated ports don't go on strike. It's safer, faster and cheaper.

[Dane-oq]

Automation coming for sure now. we will not be held hostage.

[ryansmith]

This is why buy American is so important. America needs to go back to being self sustaining again.

[danielclark]

Extremely selfish action. The union is not thinking about the impact to consumers and rejecting a 50% wage increase is asinine

[KingBlackSoul]

Im with the automation!! they're not worried about truckers jobs..."good paying jobs". time to put a stop to this foolishness! let the robots do their jobs

[FrankSmith-xj]

I can see no automation, but 77% pay increase in 6 years when the carne operators are making 300k a year

[PaulTierney-nbqe]

This is what I see.
Two days ago the news media said the strike could cause serious issues if it goes on.
Today they say don’t panic shop.
And give you a list of what foods will be gone in days.

[kennyc]

Automate the ports, this strike proves humans are the weakest link in the supply chain.

[terrygoodman]

American made products do not come on cargo ships!

[Magpie]

I feel so bad for those poor dock workers making only 200 to $300, 000 a year...

[StephaneBrissette-pn]

Fire them all. He said it, they are good paying jobs with lots of benefits.

[flyingthesails]

At least we know what group of American workers we can blame, when your car breaks down and the Mechanic says that he can order the replacement part but can't tell you when it will arrive.
