Grangemouth workers vow to fight for their refinery's future
The march passes by the refinery

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.
