HOUSTON (Reuters) - The United Steelworkers union (USW) said little progress was made in talks with oil companies for a new U.S. refinery workers contract as a strike at 11 plants completed its 10th day, according to text message issued by the union.

The USW said lead oil company negotiator Royal Dutch Shell Plc failed to bring information as promised when talks ended last week.

In a statement posted on the union website, the USW said its negotiators engaged in a "discussion about the industry's failure to bargain in good faith and their game playing regarding our legitimate requests for information" with Shell's representatives.
