On Saturday January 10, District 13 activists converged on the Marathon Garyville Refinery in Louisiana in support of National Oil Bargaining and upcoming negotiations. District 13 Activists and representatives from Shell, Chevron, Exxon Mobil, BP, and other petrochemical companies participated in the rally.
The emphasis of the rally was to share information about the upcoming negotiations and to inform the employees of the role Marathon will play. We asked the employees to stand with us and tell Marathon they deserve a raise. The information was well received by the workers at the Garyville Refinery.
Since Saturday’s rally we have received several calls from the workers at the refinery asking for assistance in forming a union. We will offer any and all assistance to these workers because UNITED TOGETHER WE ARE STRONGER!
A special thanks to the following locals that were in attendance: 13-1, 13-12, 5702, 620, 750, 447, 9121, 6296, and 14465.
