Infineum
Infineum's Bayway Chemical
Plant is one of three bargaining units in Local 877. Owned and operated by
Exxon since the 1960's, Infineum was formed in 1999 as a result of a joint
venture by Exxonmobil and Shell. This manufacturing facility produces high
tech and high quality lube oil additives and ATF. The 24 hour 365 day
operation is staffed by over a hundred Teamster pipe-fitters, welders,
electricians, machinists, carpenters and process technicians. We are in the
second year of a five year contract, with a wage reopener in 2006.
Infineum and IBT #877 enjoy a true partnership in safety, benefiting our
membership and the company's bottom line. Bayway Chemical Plant has earned
the prestigious STAR (safety through accountability and recognition) status
from OSHA Voluntary Protection Program. Union leadership and management are
active in the Voluntary Protection Program Participants Association.
