🚢 In just 3 days, the 2024 East Coast Port Strike evaporated a staggering $15 billion in value. The domino effect of a weekend-length disruption in the right place is outright shocking. Even when incidents are averted, like UPS managed to do in 2023, the impact is still deeply felt. I wonder if the strikes last as long as they do because of visibility or because potential losses per day are immediately obvious and extremely distressing. #SupplyChain #Logistics #DataAnalysis #Operations #EconomicImpact #Shipping
