Inquisitor_Lensoven Posted October 1 Share Posted October 1 (edited) Just a heads up, strong possibility of east coast ports shutting down due to longshoremen Union strike. Both sides sound very far apart so far. this will affect ports from Maine to Florida, so it might get more expensive to buy models in store and might take longer to get online orders Edited October 2 by Inquisitor_Lensoven Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384127-us-east-coast-supply-disruptions/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bouargh Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Think about impact on Xmas too, as containers coming now start including stuff for end of year. Our exports to us and canada are currently impacted with delays that are expected under the current projections to be resorbed only at end of january. I talk of iso containers of chemicals and specialties. I imagine all stuff will be affected in the same way.

phandaal Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 Good luck to the union, I hope workers rights do not degrade any further. They are going to be fine. The negotiations included an 80% (!!) pay raise for the union, which both sides agreed to already. There is just another sticking term regarding automation that the union didn't like, so they walked.

Do you live on the east coast? 150k isn’t bad, but for the areas the ports are in, it’s not particularly great either, especially if you have any kids, or a spouse with college loans to pay off.

I am literally from Georgia. 150 is good money even in the expensive cities. And longshoremen don’t need to pay off school loans because they are hired off the street for knowing the right “wise guys”. No college required!

phandaal Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 (edited) Last I heard the companies were offering a 50% raise while the union was asking for a 77% raise. What I saw was they ended up agreeing on the pay, but automation was the real issue. Guess they don't want ports to start using bots to move goods around? Seems like they will be fine in the end. People around the country will be paying a lot more for things in the near term though.

Lord_Ikka Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 (edited) =][= We've wandered fairly far afield here. The topic is about the possible impact that the portworker strike has on the hobby (ie- delayed shipments, pushed back timelines for future releases, etc...), not about whether the strike is a good thing, or motives behind the strike. Please keep it on topic. =][= Edited October 2 by Lord_Ikka Special Officer Doofy 1 Back to top Link to comment https://bolterandchainsword.com/topic/384127-us-east-coast-supply-disruptions/#findComment-6068180 Share on other sites More sharing options...
DuskRaider Posted October 2 Share Posted October 2 I’m going to say this and I don’t mean this to come off as political or anything but a little bit of advice: if this strike is going to be as impactful as it seems, I would recommend being more concerned about necessities, not plastic models. This will affect the economy and it may affect your ability to purchase goods, particularly canned goods. I would suggest stocking up a bit, just to be on the safe side.

Wait, not everyone has 10 yrs supplies of food, medical supplies, metal, fuel / generators, garden, wood stove, water storage, defense and solar power with other addition that make their house off grid? I will be good, as well as my family. Always be prepare for an emergency. The comment I quote is correct. Plastic toys are the least of your worry with this. Always be prepare even in good time.
