STORYLINE:

Tens of thousands of port workers across the U.S. East and Gulf Coasts went on strike as a deadline for a new labor deal over wages and automation had passed.

Labor negotiations stalled between the International Longshoremen's Association (ILA) and the United States Maritime Alliance (USMX), leading to the shut-down of at least dozens of East and Gulf Coast ports.

The two sides, which had not been in formal negotiations since June, reportedly moved off their previous wage offers on Monday, but apparently no deal had been reached as picket lines went up from Port of Philadelphia to Port Houston in Texas, with striking dockworkers carrying signs reading "No Work Without a Fair Contract."
