You're reading an older Hightower Lowdown article. Jim's still writing — twice a week on Substack.
While ExxonMobil holds out for huge changes to seniority, safety, and layoffs, the massively profitable corporation has locked out 650 workers in Beaumont, TX–and with no paychecks for eight weeks, the workers are hurting. On our next Lowdown Happy Hour, we’re meeting up with a few of the workers as well as Rick Levy, president of the Texas AFL-CIO. The convo will shed light on what’s a stake, for these workers and for the country. Join us!
