Strike action to resume at Exxon Mobil’s UK Fawley oil refinery in January

(Reuters) – Strike action at Exxon Mobil’s (XOM.N) 270,000 barrel per day (bpd) Fawley oil refinery in southern England is set to resume on Jan. 9, a GMB union spokesperson said on Wednesday.

Workers voted to strike at the end of November but have now suspended industrial action for the remainder of the year.

“Local members have returned to work as normal. The industrial action is planned to be recommencing from Jan. 9, subject of course to any fresh talks between the employers and the union,” the spokesperson said.

The strike action has had no impact on refinery operations or fuel deliveries, most of which is transported by pipeline, an Exxon Mobil spokesperson said on Wednesday.
