USW: ExxonMobil employees under seeming surveillance before lockout
ExxonMobil has been accused of committing unfair labor practices at its Beaumont facilities leading up to the lockout of more than 600 employees over a month ago, according to a federal complaint by the United Steelworkers Union.
In documents obtained by the Enterprise, legal counsel from the USW claimed that on April 30 — a day before the lockout began — refinery and packaging facility employees seemingly were placed under surveillance by management and shifts were changed without notice.
The complaint to the National Labor Relations Board was filed April 13 and delivered to ExxonMobil Beaumont the next day, but nothing has been officially substantiated so far.
A field investigator from the agency has been assigned to the case and is still verifying the claims from the union.
