With National Oil Bargaining negotiations underway, and the timeline nearing (Feb 1st), please keep the hardworking individuals in your thoughts and prayers.

These are hardworking individuals that make dangerous jobs safe and they are just fighting for what is fair.

I know this board with Trump keeping American workers highly paid and preventing profits from going overseas to companies like Royal Dutch Shell (lead negotiators) and BP.

I’ve never seen a more nebulous term be such a rallying cry for the overpaid and underworked.

This is strictly for US refinery workers. Those keeping production facilities in your community safe and profitable through high utilization rates. Keeping energy prices low.

I haven’t read up too much into it yet. What are the primadonnas asking for this time above and beyond their already nice package?

I hope this isn’t an argument USW tries to bring to the table, they’ll be laughed out of the building.

Ah, the ole profits going to the evil corporations argument. Never mind the shitload of employees and other people in the US and and around the world who "share" in these profits through stock price and dividend earnings.

frick Unions. They are not needed anymore with labor laws, osha, etc. nothing but a corrupt money grab. They don’t give 2 fricks about their “members”, only their pockets being lined. Useless lazy fricks.

The USW doesn't need to bring that argument. The statement is repeated almost daily by CEOs.

Unless you believe low utilization and defending lawsuits or paying fines leads to profit.

How much of your union dues go toward this?

Maybe outwardly to an ignorant public, but that definitely isn’t the internal sentiment.

Nope, but I would like to see you correlate that to the workers asking for another 4 - 5% year over year on top of a base salary over $80,000 for a four year+ employee. By and large, safety is driven by the company to the exacerbated chagrin of those being forced to be the “extra mile” safe.
