How the port strike could impact consumers
The 14 ports that shut down in a strike handle about 80% of the coffee, tea, spirits and beverage imports as well as about 60% of medical and surgical instruments coming into the U.S. While many businesses knew the strike was coming and stocked up in advance, the strike could cost the economy up to $5 billion per day.
