Productivity --- 8 for 8. [Labor Relations at Gulf Oil]
According to the author, a spokesman for Gulf Oil Corporation, the petroleum industry in the United States has reason to be proud of its record in labor relations, in labor negotiations, and in the success of its bargaining. For many years, this industry found itself alone in advocating noncompliance with COLAs and not participating in fully paid medical plans and other labor programs other industries felt it necessary to adopt and underwrite. This staunch resistance lent the petroleum industry, over the years, the reputation of an industrial dinosaur, but this has lately changed as industry at large, especially during an economic recession, has seen the wisdom behind the motives of the petroleum industry. The author goes on to state that Gulf's employees are well paid and that the last contract, stipulating a 9 percent and 7 percent increase over the next two years, was a bilaterally fair settlement.
