New Jersey U.S. Senate Candidate Wants Fed, State Leaders to Intervene in Port Strike

A New Jersey Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate wants President Joe Biden and New Jersey leaders to intervene in a potential port worker strike that could start tomorrow, Oct. 1.

“The impact of a massive port worker strike, starting tomorrow, will have a devastating impact on New Jersey’s economy, costing $5 Billion a day. Where is President Biden? He has the authority to intervene and stop this disaster in the making,” Curtis Bashaw said in a statement.

“Where is New Jersey’s Senate leadership? The Port of New York and New Jersey is the largest port on the East Coast, and employs thousands of New Jerseyans,” Bashaw added. “We need our nation’s leaders to bring people together to resolve this situation that will cause immediate harm to Garden State workers, families and businesses.”

On Sunday, Biden said he did not intend to intervene, as he can under the federal Taft-Hartley Act.
