Have you recently ordered some 3M
paint protection film for your vehicle? Or maybe you ordered a new truck
stereo or even a new truck altogether? Whatever the case may be, if your
delivery is coming from the Port of Baltimore, it could be a little (or even a
lot!) on the late side.
Sadly, it has been reported that a dockworker strike in the
area has caused several automotive deliveries to be delayed. While the
companies mainly affected by the strike are BMW, Mazda, and Fiat, which all
have distribution plants in the area, many other deliveries from around the
country are getting delayed during the transit process because of the harrowing
strike.
The strike featured a 2000 member walkout due to a
contractual dispute between local workers and the Steamship Trade Association
of Baltimore. Automotive manufacturers aren’t commenting on the strike (or on
when you can expect that 3M paint protection film you ordered to arrive), but
all are hoping it will end soon. Until it does (and hopefully after too!), you
can check out the great accessories at Auto Truck Depot, a company that is
unaffected by the strike and that won’t keep you waiting!
