REUTERS/Andrew Kellysaid on Friday in its reply to a U.S. National Labor Relations Board complaint that the lockout of over 600 workers at its Beaumont, Texas, refinery was lawful, according to a filing with the board.
The board recommended the workers receive their back pay and costs for the time they were locked out of the refinery.In the reply, Exxon said it "acted in good faith and has not violated any provision of the National Labor Relations Act." The lockout began as the union and Exxon were deadlocked in talks over a new six-year contract. Exxon said the lockout would assure operations continued uninterrupted if the union began a strike, as it had notified the company it might do.In the September complaint, the NLRB alleged Exxon unilaterally changed the terms of the contract and working conditions for refinery employees.
The NLRB alleged Exxon provided more than the "ministerial aid" to union members who led a decertification campaign to remove USW local 13-243 from representing the workers.
