The ILA union is readying to strike at ports on the Atlantic and Gulf Coasts, threatening the North American automotive supply chain.

Ahead of our event in Dearborn, we will be sharing news and features in this live blog that relate to the topics and speakers that will be focal points at ALSC Global 2024, including shipping and port capacity in the North American vehicle logistics network. 

A challenge sure to be addressed on the stage is the upcoming potential US east coast and gulf port strikes, as the International Longshoremen’s Association (ILA) gears up to strike on 1 October if an agreement is not reached with the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX).
