An uneasy future in the lower end of Delco

 


We certainly hope that yesterday's confab of elected and union officials down in Marcus Hook is not the last one.


We hope they get an opportunity to gather once more to announce a buyer for both the Sunoco and ConocoPhillips refineries.


We fear they will not. Here is our editorial today on a huge economic blow to the county.


Refining gasoline these days does not make money. At least not enough money to satisfy the corporate boards that now run companies such as Sunoco and ConocoPhillips.


There was a time when Sun was an extension of the Pew family.


Not anymore. It's about the bottom line.


And the fear is that means a lot of Delco workers will be out on their rear end.
