Walmart, FedEx, UPS will move to operate '24/7' to ease supply chain bottlenecks, WH says
Backups at key U.S. ports in California have doubled the time it takes for some products to arrive from Asia. Biden's administration promises a "90-day sprint."

WASHINGTON — The White House is set to announce Wednesday that three of the largest U.S. goods carriers, Walmart, FedEx and UPS, will up their efforts to address supply chain shortages resulting from the coronavirus pandemic.

The carriers "will make commitments towards moving to 24/7 working during off-peak hours" at key ports in Southern California, senior administration officials said on a call Tuesday evening.

President Joe Biden will meet Wednesday with leaders of the Port of Los Angeles, the Port of Long Beach, California, and the International Longshore and Warehouse Union to discuss congestion at the ports and the extended hours. The White House will also meet with executives from Walmart, UPS and Home Depot about supply chain issues.
