BP (BP.L) said Monday the United Steelworkers Local 7-1 union discontinued negotiations without meaningfully addressing unresolved issues tied to operations at its Whiting refinery in Indiana, US.
The energy group said it remained committed to continuing bargaining during the ongoing lockout, adding that the union "rejected and refused to negotiate bp Whiting refinery's last, best, and final offer."
BP's latest proposals include upgraded job structures, enhanced training programs, a six-year agreement with a $2,500 lump sum bonus, and additional payments ranging from $5,000 to $7,500 for certain classifications. BP also aims to introduce average base wage increases of 13% over four years, alongside annual cash bonus opportunities.
