Amoco Corp. said it submitted a proposal to its refinery, chemical and pipeline workers that would extend the current contract to Jan. 31, 2002. The agreement is due to expire in February 1999. Amoco said the Oil, Chemical and Atomic Workers union has until Nov. 25 to ratify the extension, which would cover five U.S. refineries, including the one in Whiting, and two chemical plants, including one in Joliet, as well as Amoco Pipeline Co. Shell Oil Co. said it proposed a similar extension at its refinery and petrochemical plants.
