I've temped at Tosco. A few weeks ago, to a fellow "temp" at the help desk
(all half a dozen of them are temps, some have been for 2+ yrs.)
I showed my co-worker an article in the San Fransisco Chronicle about the
measly fine Tosco had to pay from the latest refinery explosion, which
killed a few workers. He asked who were the main protesters orgs. When I
said, Citizens For a Better Environment and a much more militant,
anti-enviro racism, grass roots group, West County Toxics Coalition

, he chuckled and said Tosco gives lotsa money to CBE.
