Tension Is Building: A strike is looming at several ag shipping ports

Thousands of ag shipping containers are in jeopardy if a labor agreement is not reached at several key ports.

25,000 dock workers are calling for more fair labor contracts along the East and Gulf Coasts, as well as the Great Lakes.

The Soy Transportation Coalition says that a strike would have a significant impact on container shipments.
It includes ports like Norfolk, Virginia, which saw more than 65,000 containers of soybeans leave the port last year.

The International Lonshoremen’s Association has voted to strike if a new contract is not reached by October 1st.
