Unions claim Project Willow report will fail to save 400 workers from the axé at oil refinery

- BY CHRIS MCCALL

UNIONS have branded a longawaited report on the future of Grangemouth a "fig leaf" and demanded immediate action to secure jobs.

The oil refinery at Grangemouth is currently in the process of being shut down with more than 400 jobs lost as a result.

The site, owned by Manchester United owner Sir Jim Ratcliffe's company Ineos, is also home to a petrochemicals plant.

Unite the Union said a new report on the site's future would take years to implement and wouldn't help refinery workers already losing their jobs.
