September 17, 2026

 

bp Whiting refinery met today with the United Steelworkers Local 7-1 (USW) elected representatives, following our meeting on Monday, September 14. While the Company and USW Local 7-1's elected leadership are still working on several key issues, conversations were constructive and the parties have agreed to meet again next Tuesday.

 

bp Whiting refinery remains committed to bargaining in good faith toward an agreement that supports our employees, our community and the refinery's long-term future.

 

The refinery continues to operate safely, reliably and compliantly, with no impact to operations as a result of the current labor dispute.
