We’ll be taking our show on the road tonight for our live-stream Internet ‘Live From the Newsroom’ show.
We’ll be at the union hall in Linwood talking to refinery workers about what looks to be an increasingly pessimistic future for both Sunoco’s Marcus Hook plant, and ConocoPhillips’ Trainer operation.
Both have now been idled. Workers are starting to be laid off, and the companies indicate no one is coming forward with an offer to buy them and operate them as refineries.
We’ll be joined by union leaders Denis Stephano, president of United Steelworkers Local 10-234, which represents workers at ConocoPhillips, and Jim Savage, president of USW Local 10-1, which represents workers at the Sunoco plant in South Philly. Many of those workers actually live here in Delco. We’re also hoping to be joined by Jim Miller, boss of the union representing workers at Sunoco’s Marcus Hook refinery.
A lot has been said about the refinery closings. Some have likened it to “losing a way of life.”
Tonight we’ll find out just how dire the situation is.
Join us at 7 at DelcoTimes.com. If you have a question you’d like to ask the panel, email it to me at editor@delcotimes.com and I’ll put it to the panel. You also can join our live chat tonight online.
See you at 7!
