Port workers Philadelphia and across the East Coast go on strike

Thousands of dockworkers across the East and Gulf Coasts went on strike Tuesday, Oct 1. It’s the first time they’ve walked off the job in 50 years. The shipping industry has been preparing for a potential work stoppage for months. Analysts say consumers could see higher prices and shortages of some retail goods if the strike isn’t resolved quickly. Contract talks have focused on wages and automation.
