It is the first large-scale walkout in the industry in 35 years. Most of the nation’s oil workers remain on the job, but the USW urged all its members to “prepare to join ULP (unfair labor practice) strike if called upon.”
Shell, which is representing the oil industry in the talks, said it is “extremely disappointed” by the union’s decision to further expand the strike, which “sets the wrong tone for both parties to move forward.”
The company said in a letter to employees on Sunday that its commitment to resolving the dispute does not appear to be reciprocated.
