The United Steelworkers Union said on Saturday it would extend by 24 hours talks for a new labor contract for U.S. refinery workers, delaying a possible strike that could affect over half of U.S. refining capacity.
“Sufficient progress has been made in our deliberations today to warrant a rolling 24-hour extension at all locations,” USW spokeswoman Lynne Baker said in a statement. “Discussions are continuing.”
The existing contract was set to expire on Sunday morning shortly after midnight.
Man I’m glad you stop by now and then......:o)
Thanks for the news.
The scariest part about unions in the private sector is the competition. A decade or so from now you’ll see no unions in the private sector (assuming card check doesn’t pass). They’ll all be in the public sector. That means we’ll never be able to live without them being forced on us by law.
