We, the undersigned Licensed Deck Officers of Overseas Shipholding Group (OSG) and Alaska Tanker Company (ATC), alongside the leadership and membership of the Masters, Mates, and Pilots (MM&P) union, respectfully call on CEO Samuel Norton and President & COO Timothy DiPietropolo to engage in good-faith negotiations with us.

On April 19, 2024, CEO Samuel Norton addressed the OSG and ATC fleet in an email, stating:

"To avoid any confusion and to repeat the message that I have communicated several times over the past few weeks: it is up to the LDOs to decide if they want a union, and if so, which union. OSG recognizes and respects the right of our employees to decide whether they will be represented by a union. We also note that about half of our LDOs are supervisory and have different rights and responsibilities. That said, OSG will accept the representation decisions of our LDOs, including, should it be the case, the right to remain unrepresented."

We have exercised that right and voted for MM&P representation in a free and fair election, certified by the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB). Every day, we report for duty aboard your vessels with dedication and professionalism, ensuring the safe and efficient operation of OSG and ATC vessels—contributing directly to the company's success and reputation.

Now, we ask that you stand by your word and respect our decision. We urge you to meet with us without delay to begin meaningful negotiations. Our shared objective is the continued success of OSG and ATC, and we are committed to working collaboratively toward a fair and just agreement.
