Summary
The article discusses how dock workers in Canada have rejected a tentative labor deal, leading to a 14-day strike that has caused delays in U.S. trade imported through ports on Canada's West Coast. The flow of trade destined for chemical companies, retailers, and manufacturers in the U.S. has been delayed for at least two months. The article also mentions the potential impact on rail traffic and the negative effects on the bottom lines of railroad companies. The strike has caused disruptions in global supply chains and may lead to a shift in trade routes away from the U.S. West Coast ports.
