The United Steelworkers, which represents refinery workers, weighed in Monday in opposition to the Clean Air Council's legal challenge of a regulatory compromise that cleared the way for Philadelphia Energy Solutions to take over operations at Sunoco's Philadelphia refinery last month.
Steelworkers International president Leo W. Gerard said in a statement the union disagreed with the Clean Air Council's appeal of a Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection compromise that allows the refinery to emit more pollution during its initial years of operation.
