Exxon tells Texas refinery workers lockout will end if contract approved or union removed
HOUSTON (Reuters) - Exxon Mobil Corp on Sunday told workers at its Beaumont, Texas, refinery their six-month lockout will end if they ratify the company's contract offer or remove the United Steelworkers union (USW) as their representative.
"As we have told the Union, the conditions which would end the lockout remain the same: the company will end the lockout when we have a signed, ratified agreement," Exxon said in a message posted on-line.

3. nothing the Texas governor would care about
My company does a lot of work in this plant. We are not union and we are paid quite well with benefits.
I brought this over due to the bolded statement above. It gets on my nerves to see them react like that, then have ZERO issue with skilled people being fired for refusing to take a vaccine. Unskilled nurses? What could go wrong? Unskilled pilots? What could go wrong?
I can assure you, just because you're in a union it does not mean you're more skilled at your job. Usually it means you've been coddled and a lot of places won't hire you.
