Guest guest Posted January 31, 2009 Report Share Posted January 31, 2009 I just got a phone call from our beautiful who's computer is down till tonight or tomarrow. Her family all works at the oil refinerys. She said to let all of you know that all of the employees are possibly going on strike at midnight sunday. They will find out at midnight sunday they have an 800 number to call. It is due to the company taking away their benefits. If this happens the teamsters who drive the trucks who deliver gas to the gas stations will not cross the picket line neither will contracters who work in the refinerys. This means higher gas prices for sure and depending on length of strike possible gas shortages. She will let us know and encourages all of you to fill up on gas before monday morning. The bad part is even if they go on strike for a couple of days it will take 2 weeks to be back up and fully operational. Thats it for now. Will keep you posted.
