Today, bp Whiting refinery met again with USW 7-1’s elected representatives.
We appreciate the constructive conversation and the shared commitment both sides showed to moving negotiations forward.
Today’s discussions were constructive, and both sides remain engaged in the bargaining process. While issues remain unresolved, bp discussed a proposal modification for the Union’s consideration in response to concerns previously raised at the bargaining table. We await the union’s response to our request to continue our negotiations discussions. We are available and ready to meet at any time.
The refinery continues to operate safely and reliably.
