Brian Leishman MP’s anger over Grangemouth refinery closure
Derek Thomson, Scottish secretary for Unite the Union, represents employees at Grangemouth.
He told BBC Radio Scotland that there were no jobs for the Grangemouth staff to move on to that had the same skills or salary base.
Mr Thomson added: “The UK government has to take the fair share of shouldering the responsibility in all of this with the pre-election and post-election promises from Keir Starmer and Anas Sarwar just not coming to fruition.”
He added that the Scottish government could have done more, and should have pushed the UK government more.
The union representative added he believed the workers’ jobs could still be saved.
