REGINA, Jan. 13, 2020 /CNW/ - Locked out members of Unifor Local 594 are encouraging the network of FCL co-ops to take back their refinery from the out-of-touch corporate executives who are prolonging this dispute.

"A nasty lockout is not what Co-op members or retailers asked for," said Jerry Dias, Unifor National President. "It's time that rank-and-file Co-op members tell greedy executives such as CEO Scott Banda to back off and negotiate a fair deal."

"A handful of rogue corporate executives have needlessly derailed production at the only refinery owned by Western Canadians," said Kevin Bittman, Unifor Local 594 president. "Co-op retailers and members need to take back their refinery before FCL executives do more damage to the Co-op brand."

"With profits of $3 million per day, the lockout is not a question of financial planning. It is an attempt at enforcing a ruthless corporate culture that is at odds with everything co-operatives stand for," added Bittman.

Nearly 800 highly skilled workers at the Co-op Refinery have been locked out since December by FCL executives for defending the pension plan—the same plan FCL Vice President Vic Huard promised in 2017 to protect for the duration of refinery workers' careers.
