BP (BP.L) will meet with the United Steelworkers union on May 18 to resume labor contract negotiations following the lockout of nearly 1,000 workers at the company's Whiting refinery in Indiana, US, in March.
The energy company said Wednesday it "negotiated in good faith from the start and will keep doing so."
The union accused BP of unfair labor practices, calling for improved working conditions, the reinstatement of the locked-out workers, and the resumption of negotiations for job security, workers' safety, and fair wages.
