The United Steelworkers (USW) union has formally accused BP p.l.c. of engaging in unfair labor practices following the lockout of nearly 800 workers at its refinery in Whiting, Indiana, located in the United States. The dispute escalated after the United Kingdom-based oil major barred union members from entering the facility last week, following months of stalled contract negotiations.
BP's decision to lock out these skilled workers is unacceptable and unlawful.
