We are now less than a week away from what could be one of the most significant US supply chain disruptions since the pandemic. The ILA and USMX aren't speaking to each other, at least not publicly. Their current master agreement ends Sept 30, and the 65,000 members of the ILA have already overwhelmingly voted to authorize a strike that would impact every east coast US port from Maine to Texas. Last week the Biden administration said they would not use Taft-Hartley powers to intervene. At issue are the usual wage demands, but more importantly the ILA wants no further automation at US ports. This automation already exists all over Europe and Asia and without it, efficiency at US ports will continue to lag behind that of other developed countries. The estimated effects of the disruption are staggering: * A one day strike would take five days to clear. * A one week strike would cause port slowdowns until mid-Nov. * A two week strike would create congestion and delays into 2025. https://lnkd.in/e6w7P9Nw

The 2023 State of Logistics Report looks at issues, both positive and negative, that the industry is facing. For one, there’s the expense of maintaining and adapting supply chains amid ongoing disruptions. However, a shift toward technology — 96% of 3PLs have moved to cloud-based systems and 80% have invested in the Internet of Things (IoT) — is increasing efficiency and resilience. And there’s been a 26% increase in American imports of Mexican manufactured goods since spring 2020 highlighting the trend of reshoring. #thefreightarchitects #jaguarfreight #logistics
