British Petroleum locked out more than 800 union members from their Whiting refinery at 11:59 PM on March 18, after we refused their demand to cut more than 100 local jobs, accept pay cuts to almost all other positions and give up basic bargaining rights. We stand in solidarity in our demand for a fair contract!
