June 14 (Reuters) - Unifor union said on Friday its
members at Shell's Scotford refinery in Canada have
applied to the Alberta labor regulator for a strike vote later
this month after rejecting a mediator's terms of settlement
related to compensation.
The Scotford complex at Alberta consists of a bitumen
upgrader, oil refinery, chemicals plant and a carbon capture and
storage facility.
The upgrader has a capacity of 320,000 barrels of oil
equivalent per day of diluted bitumen, according to the company.
The union said its Local 530-A members rejected the
mediator's recommendations since it would have kept the
compensation of refinery workers at Scotford "well-below
industry standards".
Shell did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for
comment.
