Steelworkers, Ohio refinery up pressure to keep Line 5 open
View Comments
The United Steelworkers International union and workers from the Toledo Refining Company are mounting renewed opposition to Gov. Gretchen Whitmer s planned closure of Enbridge s Line 5.
The United Steelworkers has been advocating for Line 5 s continued operation since 2019 but launched the Future on the Line campaign in February to increase the union s reach.
Refinery workers plan to testify and gather at the Lansing Capitol Tuesday, the day before Whitmer s deadline for the closure of the oil pipeline through the Straits of Mackinac. They plan to line the Capitol lawn with more than 300 hardhats to represent the Steelworkers union jobs that would be lost at the Toledo refinery if the pipeline is closed.

Due to pending litigation, officials may decide to eliminate project labor agreements from the city of Cloquet. Written By: Izabel Johnson | ×
Cloquet City Hall (File / Pine Journal)
The Cloquet City Council on Tuesday, April 20, presented the first reading of a new ordinance that, if passed, will effectively eliminate project labor agreements in the city.
Since 2017, the city has been implementing PLAs in all city construction projects, requiring contractors to abide by certain terms, such as timelines, working conditions and budgets.
The proposed ordinance to eliminate PLAs comes as a result of pending litigation against the city involving the enforcement of the agreements, which previously prohibited non-union contractors from working on city projects.
