Mike Pearson tells listeners about two strikes and how they could impact the supply chain-- yet again.

A strike by the U.S. Ports on the east and gulf coast expires Sept. 30. IF a new a new agreement is not reached, workers are set to strike Oct. 1.

Dock workers are fighting the use of automated technology which the International Longshoremen's Association says violates the contract and threatens American jobs.

Although one contract was settled in South Carolina last year, the overall master contract is still not ratified.

The strike would cause huge supply chain problems if the west coast dockworkers sympathize and won't unload the cargo.

A strike by the Canadian-Pacific Railroad is likely by the end of August.

Teamsters have authorized the strike and all is needed is a 72-hour notice which will halt operations.

Some fear that the strike could hinder the reputation of Canada as a reliable trading partner.

This could be a huge problem for U.S. farmers as the fall harvest is right around the corner.
