FAIRFAX, Va. – The RV Industry Association (RVIA), along with over 300 other organizations, have called on President Joe Biden to take immediate action to end the ongoing dockworker strike which has halted operations at all East and Gulf Coast container ports, according to a report on the RVIA website’s News & Insights page.
The RVIA also reported that during last week’s Elkhart RV Open House, Go RVing conducted a satellite media tour broadcasting live TV segments highlighting the RV industry’s newest products on display for dealers in Elkhart.
Regarding the dockworker strike, the RVIA noted that impact on the economy is severe, jeopardizing billions of dollars in commerce daily and affecting various sectors reliant on imports and exports.
- Manufacturers face shortages of crucial components.
- Retailers risk missing holiday sales.
- Farmers can’t sell crops overseas.
Immediate federal mediation is needed to reopen ports and resolve contract disputes.
- The administration must encourage negotiations in good faith.
- Resolving this swiftly is crucial for economic recovery and national security.
