Oil majors use lockouts to secure union concessions at US refineries

US oil majors are increasingly using aggressive tactics in labour negotiations, deploying lockouts to extract concessions from workers' unions. The trend began with Exxon's 10-month lockout of 650 workers at its Beaumont refinery in 2021, the longest US refinery labour dispute in 40 years. BP and Marathon are currently locking out workers at their Whiting, Indiana, and Martinez, California, refineries whilst continuing operations with contractors and replacement staff. This strategy undermines unions' traditional bargaining power based on skilled labour being essential. At Whiting, BP proposes a 13% pay rise over four years — below national oil bargaining standards for the first two years — and seeks to transfer work to third-party contractors. The company also wants waivers on bargaining rights regarding AI tools and time clocks. Union representatives say BP is following Exxon's playbook, having hired the same lead negotiator who oversaw the Beaumont lockout.

EnQuest CEO confirms interest in BP's North Sea assets after oil major launches sale process

EnQuest CEO Amjad Bseisu confirmed to CNBC on Thursday that the UK oil and gas producer is interested in acquiring BP's North Sea assets. BP launched a sale process in July for its UK North Sea portfolio, which includes five production hubs employing around 1,100 people. The potential acquisition would mark BP's major retreat from the basin after 60 years of operations. Bseisu noted only a handful of companies remain interested in UK North Sea assets. EnQuest reported adjusted pre-tax profit of $54.6 million in the first half of the year, with revenues reaching $529.9 million. The company previously purchased North Sea interests from BP, including a 25% stake in the Magnus field in 2017.
