Labor dispute risk arises when unions, workforces, or employee organizations use actions such as strikes, work refusals, or blockades to disrupt transport processes or logistics operations. Unlike isolated strike risks, this term encompasses a broader spectrum of labor actions: civil service strikes can paralyze customs clearance, port labor disputes can shut down loading terminals, truck driver protests can block border crossings. Shippers must mitigate such risks through alternative routes, safety stock, or insurance coverage.
