#Port strike The risk of a mass strike by US port workers has risen sharply. The Red Sea crisis has been slow to ease, and global freight rates remain high. The global shipping industry is facing a new risk: the rising risk of future mass strikes by longshoremen at China's East Coast and Gulf Coast ports. On July 15, the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) warned of the imminent threat of a strike at ports along the U.S. East Coast and Gulf Coast, noting that there are only 80 days left when contracts expire on Sept. 30. Talks remain deadlocked after the union alleged Maersk's APM terminals were using automated machines and could infringe on its jurisdiction. #shipping #logistics #x-line logistics

Canada rail companies continue talks to avoid strike Canada’s Minister of Labor will continue talks with representatives of CN, CPKC, and the Teamsters Canada Rail Conference on Wednesday to avoid the work stoppage set to begin at 12:01 a.m. ET on Thursday, Aug. 22. The talks are being held as a coalition of business groups is calling on the Canadian federal government to prevent the work stoppage at country's two biggest railways.
