Dozens of refinery workers face layoffs in Sinclair [View all]

SINCLAIR – More than 30 workers at the local HF Sinclair oil refinery are out of work. And 55 more have been put on notice in what the company calls a realignment “to reflect best practices for operational excellence.”

The oil company has confirmed that 32 employees at the refinery in Sinclair were laid off this week and 55 others given their pink slips as of September. Some Wyoming politicians expressed hope that those losing employment can find new jobs.

The move comes after last year’s acquisition of Sinclair Oil by HollyFrontier and the creation of HF Sinclair.

“As a result of the recent acquisition, we are aligning our facilities,” the company said in a statement to the Rawlins Times, a sister paper of the Wyoming Tribune Eagle. “Through this work, we have made changes to organizational structures across the newly acquired facilities that will allow us to operate more efficiently, while maintaining safety and reliability.”
