Episode Details

Gary’s city council just voted unanimously to back locked-out United Steelworkers at the BP Whiting Refinery — a move echoing similar resolutions from Crown Point and Schererville, as Mayor Eddie Melton stands with the 800+ workers stuck in a nearly three-month standoff. The lockout began after stalled contract talks, sparking local concerns over safety after refinery fires and blackouts. While BP insists its proposals are vital for the refinery’s survival and accuses the union of bad-faith bargaining, the union warns the deal would slash jobs and gut worker protections. The city has sent the resolution to the union — and so far, no response from BP, who claims they’ve never received a request from Gary.
