Downstream Sector (Refining & Distribution)
The downstream sector is where crude oil is transformed into refined products such as gasoline, diesel, and petrochemicals. It also includes the distribution of these products to consumers and industries.
Workers in this sector face unique challenges, including:
- High-risk working environments in refineries due to exposure to flammable and toxic chemicals.
- Inconsistent wages and benefits for fuel distribution employees.
- Long hours and demanding shift schedules, affecting workers’ well-being.
- Lack of professional development opportunities and career advancement paths.
“From Resource to Reality – Refining Excellence, Distributing Prosperity!”
At NUSOP, we address these concerns by:
- Implementing stricter health and safety regulations to protect refinery workers.
- Negotiating better pay structures and benefits for distribution and fuel station employees.
- Providing skill development programs to help workers advance in their careers.
- Establishing fair labor practices to ensure job security in the sector.
By advocating for downstream workers, we support a more sustainable and worker-friendly energy industry.
