ExxonMobil makes first amended offer since lockout; threatens to remove benefits

BEAUMONT -- ExxonMobil has made a new, amended offer to the USW Local 13-243 for the first time since the lockout of over 620 workers began almost six months ago. But it comes with a timeline.

If the company doesn’t receive an answer by Nov. 1, it has said it will start removing beneficial proposals for employees from its offer.

On Wednesday, the company announced that its bargaining representatives gave the union a new offer at its Monday meeting, which it said contained changes that the union previously expressed interest in.

Both parties have met multiple times each month since the lockout began in May, but until now, the company hasn’t adjusted its offers or accepted any of the union’s multiple requests.
