Several media outlets Wednesday morning reported operations at the Port of Baltimore have been shut down due to a strike by members of the International Longshoremen’s Association.

According to the Journal of Commerce, this has brought to a standstill trucks going in and out of terminals, along with other cargo operations.

The strike is due to members rejecting a local contract that is a supplement to a six-year national master agreement negotiated earlier between the union and the United States Maritime Alliance.

Read more about it from the Journal of CommerceWJZ-TV or The Baltimore Sun.
