Mandan, ND (KX News) - Local oil workers protested in Mandan today to show support for the first nationwide oil worker strike in over 30 years.

Workers from nine refineries are asking companies to prioritize workers health and safety over profits.

This demonstration is not about money.

Anytime there is a labor bargeining session, a lot of people get the impression that it's usually about wages and benefits But rather, about the work load many oil workers have to deal with.
