as negotiations over pay, benefits, safety and automation have dragged on for a year, the ilwu says some of its 22,000 rank and file members have become to voice their displeasure by not showing up for work at critical ports. the pma counters the disruptive work actions effectively shut down operations at some terminals. the problems here could impact you at home. >> this is sort of a slow burn that could get to a boil quickly. >> reporter: the national retail federation urging the president to intervene. roughly 40% of our nation's imported goods arrive here at the ports of los angeles and long beach. our partners at cnbc report it could take weeks to clear the short backlog already created, saying many of the containers are back to school and holiday products. >> because of these slowdowns or dock workers not showing up, that causes delays, delays getting the goods to stores. that cost extra money. at some point those costs could be passed on to consumers. while today's port problems in no way represent the massive shipping backlog that threaten the national supply chain during covid,
