By

BP (BP) maintained the lockout at its Whiting refinery in Indiana after failing to reach a deal with the United Steelworkers, or USW, Local 7-1, the company said Monday.

The parties held a meeting Monday and BP said "the union chose to leave the bargaining table without meaningfully engaging on the issues." The union requested to lift the lockout but "rejected and refused to negotiate" the company's last contract offer, according to the statement.

The lockout has already spanned two months and BP said it remains committed to negotiate in good faith with the union, and bring back employees once a deal is reached.
