Nearly 200 agriculture organizations on Friday morning urged the White House to address key U.S. agricultural supply chain issues in the face of a potential port strike on the East and Gulf Coasts that could begin on Tuesday.

They also asked the Transportation Department to consider issuing an emergency hours of service waiver for truck drivers at East and Gulf Coast ports. The United States Maritime Alliance said it filed the complaint with the National Labor Relations Board, due to the repeated refusal of the International Longshoremen’s Association to return to the bargaining table.
