United Steelworkers union sets proposals for next refinery worker contract By Erwin Seba HOUSTON (Reuters) -More than 300 United Steelworkers union (USW) refinery and chemical plants workers meeting in Pittsburgh approved on Thursday proposals for labor negotiations set to begin early in 2026 with energy companies, said Mike Smith, chair of national oil bargaining for the union. The current four-year contract covering 30,000 workers expires shortly after 12 a.m. on Feb. 1, 2026. The USW members work at refineries that account for over half of national crude oil processing capacity. USW negotiators led by Smith and including International President David McCall and International Vice President Roxanne Brown will begin meeting in January with negotiators from Marathon Petroleum (NYSE:MPC), which will be representing the industry. "As the lead company in national pattern negotiations, MPC looks forward to productive negotiations with the USW and is committed to working toward a mutually satisfactory agreement,” said Marathon spokesperson Jamal Kheiry. A key issue will be wage increases for refinery and chemical plant workers, who average more than $50 an hour for inside operators. “I would say the proposals on wages are significant for the times in which we are living,” Smith said. He declined to be more specific about the union’s wage proposals. Another top issue is the cost of health care, Smith said. “We’re trying to secure good decent health care without bearing the brunt of rising costs,” he said. And as with many industries, the union has a proposal on artificial intelligence. “The AI proposal is really to protect us as we try to understand the impacts on our sector,” Smith said. A supermajority of local unions must approve the proposals agreed to in Pittsburgh within 45 days so they can be brought to the bargaining table. Smith said he could not now predict how difficult or easy the negotiations might be with Marathon. At negotiations in 2022, the USW secured a 2.5% wage increase in the first year, 3% in both the second and third years and 3.5% in the fourth year. With valuations skyrocketing in 2024, many investors are uneasy putting more money into stocks. Sure, there are always opportunities in the stock market – but finding them feels more difficult now than a year ago. Unsure where to invest next? One of the best ways to discover new high-potential opportunities is to look at the top performing portfolios this year. ProPicks AI offers 6 model portfolios from Investing.com which identify the best stocks for investors to buy right now. For example, ProPicks AI found 9 overlooked stocks that jumped over 25% this year alone. The new stocks that made the monthly cut could yield enormous returns in the coming years. Is MPC one of them?

United Airlines flight attendants reject new contract agreement Investing.com -- United Airlines flight attendants voted to reject a tentative agreement for a new contract with the carrier on Tuesday, according to their union. The Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, representing 28,000 United flight attendants, reported that 92% of eligible voters participated in the ballot, with 71% voting against ratifying the agreement. The rejected deal, reached in May between the union and United, would have provided flight attendants with an estimated 40% financial gain in the first year of the new contract. Ken Diaz, president of the United Airlines chapter of the AFA-CWA, stated that the agreement "didn’t go far enough to address" the flight attendants’ demands. "Our union will survey members as quickly as possible to identify the key issues Flight Attendants are ready to fight to achieve in an agreement they want to ratify," Diaz said. The union will now return to negotiations with United Airlines until a new agreement is reached. United’s flight attendants, who filed for federal mediation in 2023, are seeking several improvements including a double-digit increase in base pay, better compensation for all hours worked - including ground time - retroactive pay, more flexible scheduling, and improved work rules. The flight attendants have not received a pay raise since 2020. This article was generated with the support of AI and reviewed by an editor. For more information see our T&C. With UAL making headlines, savvy investors are asking: Is it truly valued fairly? In a market full of overpriced darlings, identifying true value can be challenging. InvestingPro's advanced AI algorithms have analyzed UAL alongside thousands of other stocks to uncover hidden gems.
