AP report describes a major port shutdownwith perishable foods piling up and about 160 ships idle. Longshoremen strike and dwindling supplies halt operations, forcing limited menus aboard luxury liners and delaying provisioning for cargo and passengers.
A 10 day old walkout by International Longshoremen's Association AFL CIO halts work at New York and New Jersey docks, tying up 107 ships and 50 moorings. Estimated losses reach 30 million dollars as cargo including auto parts and produce stalls, while defense cargo remains protected. The dispute centers on opening the work register to 750 new automated pier workers, alleged seniority issues, and travel premium disputes across the Hudson.
