Union says U.S. refinery strike widened; cites unfair labor practices
The
United Steelworkers union said on Saturday the strike by U.S. refinery
workers is expanding to two more plants early on Sunday due to unfair
labor practices by oil companies. Walk-outs at BP Plc's Whiting,
Indiana, refinery and the company's joint-venture refinery with Husky
Energy in Toledo, Ohio, shortly after 12 a.m. local time on Sunday would
bring the number of plants with striking hourly workers to 11,
including nine refineries accounting for 13 percent of U.S. refining
capacity. BP said on Friday it had received notice of the walk-outs at
the two refineries, but the Steelworkers had said little about them
until Saturday. "We regret that we have been unable to reach a mutually
satisfactory agreement with the USW prior to contract expiration," said
Shell spokesman Ray Fisher.Read More ...

By Daniel Kelley PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - A gunman wounded three people at a Macy's department store in a shopping center outside Pittsburgh on Saturday in what police said was a shooting that targeted one of the victims. “We believe that one of those three people shot was a targeted individual,” said Monroeville Police Chief Doug Cole of the incident at the Monroeville Mall outside Pittsburgh.

As Baghdad lifts curfew, bombs are reminder of country at war
By Saif Hameed and Stephen Kalin BAGHDAD (Reuters) - Five blasts across Baghdad on Saturday tempered Iraqis' anticipation of a more relaxed and accessible capital as the government prepared to lift a night-time curfew that has kept the city on a war-time footing for more than a decade. The attacks included a suicide bombing at a restaurant in a Shi'ite neighborhood and improvised explosives devices planted in a bustling central market district, underscoring the peril ordinary people still face from militant violence in Baghdad. Ending the curfew and "demilitarizing" several neighborhoods is part of a campaign to normalize life in Iraq's war-blighted capital. Officials hope to demonstrate that Baghdad no longer faces a threat from Islamic State, the militant group which seized large areas of northern and western Iraq last year.
