(hydracarbonprocessing) -- Union
workers have called a strike at Husky Energy’s refinery in Lima, Ohio, leaving
the refiner's management to run the 150,000 bpd plant, the union said
Friday.
About 235 members of the United Steelworkers union walked off the
job after failing to reach a contract agreement.
The union filed 23 unfair
labor practice charges with the National Labor Relations Board against the
company, national USW spokeswoman Lynne Hancock said.
A Husky spokesman
was not immediately available.
The refinery produces about 2 billion gal/year
of refined fuel, including about a quarter of the gasolineconsumed in the state
of Ohio. The local union "still believes there is room to negotiate," Hancock
said.
