Thousands of dock workers have gone on strike, bringing trade on the eastern and gulf coasts to a halt. How will this affect us?
From The Daily Wire. Tens of thousands of dock workers at ports along the East and Gulf coasts walked off the job at midnight on Tuesday, a massive strike that brings billions of dollars in trade to a screeching halt.
Have you taken your place on the wall?
The International Longshoremen’s Association launched the strike after port ownership failed to meet its demands for higher wages and address the union’s objections to port automation. …
About 45,000 workers will refuse to work during the strike, which will snarl supply chains and choke off nearly 50% of U.S. imports. A total of 14 ports are affected including the Port Authority in New Jersey and the ports in Boston, Philadelphia, Wilmington, North Carolina, Baltimore, Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah, Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami, New Orleans, Mobile, and Houston.
Overnight workers quickly began to picket, and pictures of the striking workers popped up on social media almost immediately. …

Depending on how long the strike lasts, Americans could see shortages and delays past the election and into the holiday season.
Bananas, coffee, cocoa, pharmaceuticals, clothing, furniture, vehicles, and even Christmas decorations are among the products that will be affected. As far as American exports, beef, poultry, pork, eggs, and cotton will be impacted as well. …
The Biden-Harris administration had the ability to stop the strike, but has opted not to invoke the Taft-Hartley Act, which gives the president the power to keep workers on the job. …

We can certainly pray for this to not keep Americans from getting what they need, but we a intercessors, need to break all demonic assignments and come against what the enemy is doing in this strike.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, we come before you and praise your name for being the one true God, the King of Kings and Lord of Lords! We stand in the name and authority of Jesus and we Bind up all spirits of greed and anything else operating in this strike and commend them to stand down. We can’t sell their assignments in Jesus’s name and we release the power of the Holy Spirit and gods holy angels over this situation now.
Father, we praise you as we enter your new year today. We praise you for all you have done and all you will be doing to restore America back to you. Because we know you have a plan! We pray for unity and harmony between the dock workers and their employers. We pray for President Biden to do whatever you lead him to do.
We pray for peace in Jesus name, amen.
