Kuwait Refineries Operating After It Says Oil Workers Walked Out - Bloomberg:

"Kuwait’s oil and gas refineries are still operating after state-run Kuwait National Petroleum Co. said the oil workers union went on strike.
Operations at the country’s three fuel-processing plants were “smooth” as the company followed contingency plans for working with reduced staff, Khaled Al-Asousi, spokesman for Kuwait National Petroleum, said by phone Sunday. Kuwait Petroleum Corp. will continue to provide fuel to the local market and can meet demand for exports from international customers, the company said on Twitter. Calls on Sunday to the Oil & Petrochemical Industries Workers Confederation weren’t returned.
About 13,000 members of the union were set to walk off the job at 7 a.m. local time in Kuwait to protest reductions in their wages and benefits, union head Saif Al Qahtani said by phone Thursday."
