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.

USW will not get public support for their cause either. Their members are in the top 7% in wage earners in the US with top tier benefits packages. While there are catastrophic incidents in industry, the incident rates and injuries are no where near other occupations.
