Wouldn’t it be something if Americans store shelves went empty because people won’t show up for work which backs up warehouses, trucks and ships? It’s being reported that 60 huge ships are sitting at Port of LA waiting to dock and be unloaded. Where have all the good men gone?
**************************
A coalition of unions that represent shipping workers around the world has warned of an imminent 'global transport systems collapse' due to lingering impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.
In an open letter on Wednesday, the workers groups warned that fragmented and inconsistent pandemic restrictions around the world have thrown global shipping into chaos.
The warning comes as supply-chain backlogs leave scores of cargo ships idling outside US ports, exacerbating shortages caused by a national truck driver shortage that threatens to derail the Christmas shopping season.
