Around 45,000 members of the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) have gone on strike, affecting ports along the East and Gulf Coasts of the United States123. This is the first strike of its kind since 1977 and has significant implications for the flow of imports and exports, potentially disrupting a wide range of goods from toys to European automobiles.
