There are a couple of new stories out of California today.
- Phillips has settled a wage theft case for ~$12 million. This involves requiring employees to dress out early without being paid, deducting pay for lunches even when the lunches were interrupted or not even started at.
- The LA Refinery is “sitting on a lake of oil” from leaks over the years. So who is going to buy this land for redevelopment knowing this? It looks like P66 could have been money ahead by spending the money to make it competitive and continuing to operate it. Now they’re going to be paying for many years to clean it up.
