More than 500 workers at a Chevron Corp. refinery in the San Francisco Bay Area are on strike over safety concerns and to demand a salary increase to keep up with inflation and the area’s high cost of living.
Operators holds up picket signs and acknowledge honking horns outside the Chevron Corp. refinery, Monday, March 21, 2022, in Richmond, Calif. More than 500 workers at the refinery in the San Francisco Bay area went on strike early Monday in a contract dispute. The United Steelworkers union said in an email that the strike affecting the refinery in the city of Richmond began at 12:01 a.m. – More than 500 workers at a Chevron Corp.
The union said it had negotiated a national agreement for oil workers on wages and working conditions, but about 200 individual bargaining units still had to negotiate local issues. The company offered a 2.5% pay increase, but the union had asked for 5% to keep up with inflation and cost of living in the Bay Area, White said.
“The employees who are operating the refinery during the strike have satisfied the necessary requirements to perform their designated jobs so that the refinery will be operated safely and in compliance with all applicable laws,” Chevron spokesperson Tyler Kruzich said in an email. "It is more likely that the refinery will run with a ‘skeleton crew’ until the labor contract issues can be resolved," Medlock said in an email.“California prices are already higher than other states due to the unique blend that must be sold in the state that limits arbitrage of imported gasoline from other regions, so there is ample incentive to keep the refinery running,” he added.
