The East coast has a new disaster. Apparently the port workers on the entire east coast have gone on strike. And just in time for the hurricane too. How will this affect you?

Port Workers Strike
- Thread starter Shadetree Mechanic
- Start date
Nobody wants to see good jobs handed to robots, but if a company that wants to automate and eliminate the need for workers has all its workers walk off the job, it's not too hard to imagine what that company does about it. People talk about the strike potentially lasting months, well how long would it take to implement the automation? About the same time, I'd bet. They may strike themselves right out of a job and help the company push them out in the process.
It looks like they have suspended the strike until February according to recent news. Maybe the companies are buying time to get the robots ready 
They need the ports open to have the new robots shipped in....
