WORKERS slammed Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar’s “shameless opportunism” today as STUC delegates united to once again call for government intervention to save jobs, skills and secure a future for Grangemouth.

Speaking to his union’s motion at the final day of Congress in Dundee, Unite rep at Scotland’s former sole oil refinery Chris Hamilton accused politicians of an “appalling sell-out” which allowed PetroIneos’s closure plans to proceed.

“As I stand here, workers at Grangemouth — my friends and my colleagues — will walk out for the last time as over a century of oil refining comes to an end,” he said.
