Workers strike for new pact at nine U.S. oil, chemical plants

2015-02-02 04:48:21| Oil & Gas - Topix.net

Union workers took to picket lines on Sunday after strikes were called at nine U.S. refineries and chemical plants in a bid to pressure oil companies to agree to a new national contract covering workers at 63 plants. The walkouts, the first held in support of a nationwide pact since 1980, target plants that together account for about 10 percent of U.S. refining capacity.
