BP has no plans to honor the National Oil Bargaining Program, USW says

NEW YORK, Feb 6 (Reuters) - United Steelworkers said on Friday BP BP.L has no plans to honor the National Oil Bargaining Program.

“BP maintains they have no plans to honor the National Oil Bargaining Program – the first time that has happened," Eric Schultz, president of USW 7-1, said in an emailed statement.

"We’ve spent most of our negotiations discussing BP’s concessionary proposals that would eliminate local jobs, reduce pay across the board and strip us of bargaining rights,” Schultz said. "We will continue to negotiate in good faith."
