Union workers at the Hunts Point Terminal Wholsale Market in Bronx, NY have not went on strike in 25 years, but they are threatening to if a labor agreement is not met with market representatives. If you are on your way to the nation’s largest wholesale produce receiving facility just be aware the laborers are saying they’ll strike at 12:01 a.m. on January 17th.
Negotiations are continuing and you can bet Hunts Point wholesalers will do what it takes to stay open even if the strike occurs. How smoothly trucks would move in and out of the market is something to keep an eye on.
