Not looking for sympathy and not trying to play any type of "card." Im just saying that it is ignorant for people to take humor or badmouth someone else's way of making a living. I doubt that a full fledged nationwide strike will actually happen but there are people who are seriously worried. I am young, single, and have no children to support. Days off means I can get down to delacroix and enjoy this beautiful weather. I can go back to odd jobs to support myself if it comes down to it. Those that have families to take of are not quite in the same boat and I feel for them if it does happen.

Thank you BOSCEAUX for laying that out for many of the ignorant posters on this thread. I don't understand why people would troll this board and talk shite about "oil field trash" or what ever they want to call people in our industry. Everyone goes to work to support their family. I don't get the animosity towards us. We do hazardous labor and work with potentially deadly chemicals, we are compensated appropriately. I honestly do not believe people outside of the industry understand what we do when we are at work. The strike is a national issue, not exactly something every common Union worker wants to go through. And yes, the last update received stated we are on a rolling extension until negotiations are reviewed this afternoon.
Graduated with a biology degree, now I'm a refinery working OT baller. Originally looked into working for the state doing environmental/conservation work but pay started in the $11/hr range...
