Hey, our manufacturer reps -- what does the WC lockout mean to us?

Regarding the arrival of new products from overseas. News reports suggest this will slow down shipments by 6 weeks.

[Atlas Paul]

The majority of our recent shipments have been coming across the Atlantic, so we haven't been hit too hard by this, however more companies have been doing this and getting space on the ships has been more difficult, so it could cause some delay going forward.

I would expect at some point for the government to step in and get this settled, as has happened in the past.

From a personal stand point, I'm not going to worry if my trains don't arrive on time .. thats the nature of the supply chain. On the other hand, commodities that really count, like fuel,, raw materials, etc are more important.
