Striking California oil refinery workers demand better safety, wages
Striking California oil refinery workers demand better safety, wages
Smoke is billowing from the mammoth Tesoro oil refinery in Carson, California, but none of the plant’s 800 union workers are on the job. They’re outside, picketing at each of the eight gates to the refinery. Truckers and motorists honk their horns in support as they whiz by on 223rd Street in this industrial city south of L.A., home of a soccer stadium used by the Los Angeles Galaxy.
