Phillips 66 Locks Out 370 Workers at Bayway Refinery

The company maintains it is committed to safe and reliable production despite the staffing shift. To fill the void left by the locked-out mechanical and process workers, Phillips 66 is deploying supervisors, engineers, and technical experts to oversee the facility. These personnel are expected to keep the 289,100 b/d plant and the Linden terminal running to meet customer obligations in the New York Harbor market.

Earlier this month, negotiators from the company and Teamsters Local 877 had reached a tentative deal that promised wage increases and the preservation of core union rights. That progress stalled when the rank-and-file membership voted down the proposed terms. The Bayway site remains the largest refinery in the Northeast, serving as a critical infrastructure hub for the region's refined product supply.
