USW5 Tesoro Pacheco Oil Workers "All Or None, We Are One"

by Labor Video Project
Tesoro oil refinery bosses in Pacheco has fired three union activists in the national oil workers strike to intimidate and threaten striking USW oil workers. A rally was held on March 18, 2015 to protest this retaliation for union activity. Workers said none will go back unless all strikers and disabled workers go back to work. The shutdown is costing millions of dollars for the bosses but they want to weaken the union with these tactics.
