The refinery workers union is threatening to go out on strike if they don't get what they want by Saturday which is rumored to be in excess of a guaranteed $1.50 an hour raise for each of the next three years. BP has already talked about shutting down their carson refinery if they call a strike, which is a big refinery. I'd say it's a 50/50 chance.

If this pans out it could cause a significant jump in gas prices in so cal.

Don't these greedy union idjuts know the economy is in the tank and there are millions of people out there who would love a chance at making $33 an hour to sit on their butts? Don't they know oil companies are struggling and shutting down refineries left and right due to low or negative profit margins?

If they go out and we decide to keep the refinery running, I'll be living in the plant 24 hours a day until it's over.
I hate unions. I really, really hate unions. And the people who support unions. I hate them too. ARRGGHHH!
