Union workers at Phillips 66's Bayway Refinery have voted to authorize a strike as contract talks stall. The authorization follows unresolved negotiations over wages, benefits, safety standards, training, and job protection policies at the New Jersey facility, which is the largest refinery on the East Coast. The current collective bargaining agreement expires on October 1, 2026, and no replacement deal has been reached between union leaders and Phillips 66. The dispute also involves worker resistance to the 2025 Absence Control Policy and proposed training changes. A prolonged stoppage or partial curtailment at Bayway could affect how efficiently Phillips 66's wider refining and downstream network runs.
