Grangemouth workers vow to fight for their refinery's future
WORKERS at Scotland’s only oil refinery vowed to fight for its future this weekend, warning that closure would leave a “just transition” from fossil fuels in tatters.
A march organised by general union Unite saw workers at Grangemouth refinery joined by hundreds of supporters from the community and further afield.
With a brass band and union banners from across Britain, workers marched from the Petroineos-owned complex through the town of Grangemouth to a rally, where union leaders and politicians urged the community to join the fight.
