Hold on there...one group of "United Steelworkers," who are really in the basic steel business are losing their jobs because the demand of oilfield steel is down due to low commodity prices. On the other had, another group of "United Steelworkers," who actually work in the refining business, not the basic steel business, are preparing to walk off the job because of some imagined financial slight to their delicate sensibilities by the big, bad oil companies.

Makes you wonder if the real Steelworkers know what these other fake Steelworkers are up to.

I suspect OCAW (Oil, Chemical, and Atomic Workers) got absorbed by USW. USW is now involved in a lot of other areas outside of the steel industry, including service industry.
