Labor Photo: Oil Workers Rally for Jobs(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)Hundreds of oil workers from three Philadelphia refineries slated for permanent shutdown early this year came to Capitol Hill yesterday to tell Congressional Representatives “the closures threaten family-supportive jobs and will lead to persistent shortages of home heating oil and motor vehicle fuels in Pennsylvania and throughout the Northeast.” The workers -- members of United Steelworkers -- rallied in front of ConocoPhillips Corporation and Sunoco Corporation in downtown DC, presenting ‘pink slips’ to management at both oil companies. - photo by Julia Kann
