The future of Grangemouth Oil Refinery and how it plays into Scotland's Just Transition
Manage episode 410631166 series 3453407
In this episode of 'Mon the Workers, we delve into the proposed closure of Scotland's iconic Grangemouth Oil Refinery. As the refinery faces the possibility of ceasing operations as soon as 2025, we explore the profound impact this decision will have on the local community and beyond.
With the refinery being a cornerstone of Scotland's industrial landscape for a century, its closure represents more than just the end of an era—it's a seismic shift with far-reaching consequences. From the loss of hundreds of jobs to the potential transformation of the site into a fuel import and export terminal, we dissect the complex web of factors contributing to this pivotal moment.
In this episode we are joined by Unite convener Chris Hamilton, Historian Ewan Gibbs and Co-Director of Future Economy Scotland Miriam Brett.
