The offer was for a 4% pay increase over three years for 30,000 refinery and chemical plant workers represented by the union, the three sources said. In a message to members on Friday afternoon that was seen by Reuters, the USW said Marathon was ignoring issues the union has raised in the talks that began on Jan. 13.
