SCOTTISH and UK governments have “contributed net zero” to save workers at Scotland’s only oil refinery from the axe, Unite has said.

The comment was made by the union’s Scottish Secretary Derek Thomson as he addressed more than 150 delegates at Unite’s Scottish policy conference in Dundee at the weekend.

More than 400 workers at Grangemouth face losing their jobs next summer, if owner Petroineos goes ahead with plans to close the complex.
