As I understand it co-op has locked out 700 workers that are under Unifor Local 594, with management staff and replacement workers the refinery is still operating as normal, there was a deal on the news a while back that the union was blocking access to the refinery and co-op got a court injunction against that.
Workers were being transported into the refinery by helicopter to get around the road blocks.
There has not been much on the news about any of this, not sure why, saw some adds by the union on TV back in Dec so googled it.
