Exxon Mobil's 10-month-long lockout of some 600 union workers at a Texas oil refinery during a contract dispute was legal.

The judge sided with Exxon in his decision on Nov. 21 , finding the 2021 and 2022 lockout was to pressure the United Steelworkers union workers toward a deal.

The USW had faced a decertification campaign and filed an unfair labor practice complaint during the lockout.
