Bullied Unite convener's daughter speaks out
Union man Stevie Deans was hounded from Grangemouth job
THE DAUGHTER of former Unite convener Stevie Deans led calls to renationalise the giant Grangemouth oil refinery yesterday after watching billionaire owner Jim Ratcliffe hound out her dad and hold Britain to ransom.
Ailis Deans held back tears as she told Unite conference how her dad was “portrayed as a criminal” for standing up for 800 workers facing the sack.
She recounted how Mr Ratcliffe “victimised him in public and even humiliated him” in his bid to break the union at Grangemouth.
