Workers at BP's Whiting refinery in Indiana are negotiating a new contract, with the current agreement expiring on January 31. The United Steelworkers union, representing around 800 workers, reported that BP has proposed job cuts exceeding 200 positions in operations, maintenance, and environmental safety, along with changes to workplace protections. Union president Eric Schultz emphasized the need for BP to operate efficiently without compromising the jobs of dedicated workers. BP has not yet commented on the negotiations.
