WASHINGTON, D.C.(KELO)- The clock is ticking on a potential strike by Dock Workers on the eastern seaboard.

Contract negotiations have been stalled for months, and a strike could begin early next week.

Appearing on Fox News, Congressman Dusty Johnson says the cost to farmers across the nation could be huge.

Supply chain issues have added to inflation since the beginning of pandemic.

Those problems would be worse if a strike is called.
