Original: I was totally unaware of these lockouts in refinery towns across the US. Class War in the Refinery Towns Why aren’t the
Oil refinery workers in several US towns are being locked out by their employers, and the situation is being framed by labor writers as a class conflict playing out in refinery communities. An article by Joe Allen asks why these lockouts are not being treated as an issue in the upcoming midterm elections. Readers are sharing it with messages of solidarity and hashtags about workers' rights and unions, saying they had been unaware of the disputes.
Why now: The midterm elections have put labor disputes and workers' rights in the spotlight, prompting people to question why refinery lockouts are not part of the political debate.
