LEAD industry negotiator Royal Dutch Shell Plc said on Thursday that it was "optimistic" a new three-year agreement could be reached with a union representing hourly workers at 63 US refineries that account for two-thirds of US refining capacity.
In a message to members, the United Steelworkers union (USW) did not share Shell's optimism, pointing to the approaching expiration of the current three-year agreement at 12.01 am on Sunday in the time zone where each refinery is located.
