In this episode of the Industrial Advisors podcast, hosts Matt McGregor and his co-host dive into the current Gulf Coast and East Coast port strike. With tens of thousands of workers on strike, the episode sheds light on the scale of the issue, its ripple effects on industries like food, pharmaceuticals, and the economy at large. Key Discussion Points: Overview of the Strike: The strike spans from Maine to Texas, involving over 50,000 workers and costing an estimated $7-8 billion in losses per day. Every day of the strike creates a backlog that takes seven to eight days to catch up. Impact on Perishables: Many perishable goods coming through the eastern ports are at risk of spoilage due to delays, especially as strikes stretch beyond three days, affecting companies without insurance for such losses. Real Estate Implications: Warehousing capacity, especially on the West Coast, is not sufficient to handle the rerouted goods. This will create a significant strain on supply chains and impact the commercial real estate sector. Industries Most Affected: Beyond food, the strike is impacting industries like automotive, prescription drugs, and durable goods. Delays in these sectors could lead to shortages and have a cascading effect on the economy. Union Demands vs. Automation: The union is demanding a 77% pay increase over six years and job protections against automation. The hosts discuss the broader implications of automation in the workforce and the long-term sustainability of such demands. Economic Concerns: If the strike continues beyond a week, it could cause significant harm to the overall economy, affecting workers across multiple industries, from truck drivers to warehouse employees. Takeaway: The episode highlights the potential for this port strike to be catastrophic if unresolved soon, with long-lasting effects on supply chains, the economy, and industries that depend on timely imports.
