Service disruptions at major West Coast ports amid ongoing labor negotiations between the ILWU and PMA have raised concern about supply chain issues hitting the U.S. economy.
Freightos CEO Dr. Zvi Schreiber discusses why Americas supply chain collapsed during the pandemic and if it will normalize in 2023 on The Claman Countdown., particularly the major California hubs at the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles, and ongoing labor negotiations have raised concerns about supply chain woes hitting the U.S. economy during the peak shipping season.
