Dockworkers' strikes

Dockworkers' strikes occur when longshore workers at ports stop working to demand better conditions, wages, or benefits. These strikes can significantly impact global supply chains, as they disrupt the loading and unloading of cargo ships. Dockworkers often strike to advocate for labor rights and increased safety measures. Such actions can reflect broader economic or labor issues, drawing attention to workers' needs and grievances. While these strikes may lead to temporary inconveniences, they aim to ensure fair treatment and sustainable working conditions for dockworkers.
