I’m having a hard time understanding why P66 is being so heavy handed with the contract situation at the Bayway Refinery.
What would it have hurt to keep on negotiating instead of locking out the represented employees?
What are these employees going to be like when they return to work?
Of course, that’s the GoGo/Tractor Man way.

@f0 the companies are training the unions and workers like dogs! And like dogs they shall obey! Long live Gogo and Tractorman’
@f0 what other refineries are due? Who is off pattern?
See my reply in the other thread.
My gist being that P66 has contract negotiations coming up next year at other refineries. Consequently, what is going on at Bayway is a warning for next year, “Take our first offer, OR ELSE!”
@bg Right, at a ~$160k/yr wage and additional holidays for holiday pay that's fair in my eyes. 4% raises in Feb. 2027 then 3.5% in 2028, and 4% in 2029.

@an, just for information but if the union wouldn’t sign an extension, would that be considered a strike instead of a lockout?
You might want to get your facts straight. Union wouldn’t sign extension to keep talks going. This aint good for anyone.
Was it the Refinery or the Union that didn’t want rolling 24h extensions?
This is all Tractor Man and RH. Tractor man was brought in for this experience and he believes it is his role to put employees in their rightful place.
