Striking dockworkers just told local Charleston NBC affiliate that an agreement has been reached on two major points (automation/pay) and work will resume through year's end while the final deal is hammered out. Thanked Julie Su and Pete Buttigieg by name.

1. Guess I don't need to stock up on TP. Not that dock workers strike would effect supply.

But no doubt some hysterical people would start hoarding it.

'I'm not playing games' on port strikes, union boss says

Harold Daggett, head of the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA), made the vow on a picket line in New Jersey on Tuesday, as tens of thousands of dockworkers on the east and gulf coasts walked out in a bid to win a better labour deal.

"We're going to fight for it and we're going to win or this port will never open up again," he said. "I'm not playing games here."

4. Well good news for the fruits and veggies that are shipped in.

I wouldn’t doubt the companies understood the stuff on the ships wouldn’t last long and the hit to them would be worse than a pay raise.
