That would be a smart move. The union and Shell are not meeting today, only a phone call.


You sure about this? I thought they were meeting "at the table" again today. Which leads me to believe this would be an in person meeting.

I can only go by what I heard from the man with my own two ears. Margins are elevated on the gulf coast due to the cold weather in the north east and refineries are running at full rates. Shell, nor any of the other companies are willing to let the USW dictate staffing levels at their respective refineries. Oil companies are not backing down.

We were just informed that they are not meeting at the table. This is only a conference call to discuss if they are going back to the table next week.
I don't see this ending any time soon.
