USW Calls for More Refinery Walkouts
Written by Sandy Williams
United Steelworkers representing the nations refineries turned down a seventh contract offer from Shell Oil Co. Negotiations, which began January 1, took a one week hiatus before resuming on Wednesday and ending in frustration on Friday.
The USW said the latest offer from Shell, which is leading the contract negotiations for the U.S. refineries, “failed to improve safety at refineries in an enforceable way.”
