Whether it is panic buying or supply chain disruption, if the shelves are bare, you are out of luck either way.

The strike is suspended until Jan 15 and there is a chance there will be no strike.

Exactly! I'm amazed by the number of folks that live here that threw away common sense the moment they retired.

STOP. The strike is over. The government should have invoked the Taft Hartley Act but instead they two sides have agreed to return to work

Toilet paper is not imported. So you’re just causing a panic buy.
Everybody can relax. No strike!

While there are still some toilet paper manufacturers operating in the United States, a significant portion of the toilet paper consumed in the country is imported from other countries, primarily Canada and China.

According to the American Forest & Paper Association (AF&PA), the United States produced approximately 7.2 million tons of tissue paper in 2020, which includes toilet paper, paper towels, and facial tissues. However, the country imported an additional 2.3 million tons of tissue paper during the same year.

No they should not have.

Let the 45,000 sit without a paycheck for a few weeks.
