Per sources, Marathon Petroleum Corporation’s (MPC - Free Report) workforce of 200, represented by Teamsters Local 120 union, recently called a strike at the company’s St. Paul Park refinery. The staff staged a walkout regarding the company’s refusal to negotiate the issues that place both workers and the community in peril.
Marathon Petroleum’s labor union contract at its St. Paul Park plant expired last month without a new resolution. Earlier, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters (or the Teamsters Union) voted in favor of authorizing a strike if they fail to substitute a new agreement with Marathon Petroleum by the end of 2020.
Workers opposed the company’s proposal to replace a host of union jobs with non-union subcontractors or low-skilled operators as representatives expressed their concerns that Marathon Petroleum's effort to swap workers could hamper the operational safety of the refinery. Importantly, the union mentioned that the strike could jeopardize Marathon Petroleum’s fuel supply at its sales locations in Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Upper Midwest, which include more than 270 Speedway LLC hubs.
The St. Paul Park site is situated near the Mississippi River to the southeast of St. Paul Park, MN. The refinery has a distillation capacity of 102,000 barrels of crude oil per day and mainly refines sweet crude from the Bakken region in North Dakota along with various categories of Canadian sweet and heavy sour crude.

Experts extracted 7 stocks from the list of 220 Zacks Rank #1 Strong Buys that has beaten the market more than 2X over with a stunning average gain of +24.4% per year.
