The recent shutdown of major Canadian railways is causing significant disruptions to US shipping, leading to increased freight costs and impacting the busiest ports as they handle a surge in cargo. With over 9,000 railway workers locked out, logistics companies are rerouting shipments away from Canada, complicating the flow of essential goods like wheat and fertilizers. Concerns are mounting about potential strikes by US dockworkers that could further complicate cargo handling, exacerbating a situation already strained by record container volumes and labor negotiations across US ports.
