US Prez unlikely to block potential strike at East Coast ports 

US President Joe Biden does not intend to invoke federal law to prevent a port strike on the East Coast and the Gulf of Mexico if dockworkers fail to secure a new labour contract by an October 1 deadline, reports said quoting an administration official. US Presidents can intervene in labour disputes that threaten national security or safety by imposing an 80-day cooling-off period under the federal Taft-Hartley Act, forcing workers back on the job while negotiations continue. The US has never invoked Taft-Hartley to break a strike and is not considering doing so now. The International Longshoremen’s Association, negotiating on behalf of workers at three dozen US ports from Maine to Texas that handle about half of the nation’s ocean imports, warned that its members are prepared to stop work in two weeks, as per a report.
