Today, bp Whiting refinery met again with USW 7-1's elected representatives.
While we appreciated the opportunity to continue the discussion, the meeting did not result in the progress we had hoped to make on key issues still separating the parties.
bp Whiting refinery remains committed to bargaining in good faith so we can reach an agreement that brings our union-represented employees back to work and delivers long-term benefits for them, the community, and the refinery. Achieving this will require continued dialogue and meaningful engagement from both parties.
The refinery continues to operate safely, reliably and compliantly, with no impact to operations as a result of the current labor dispute.
