Fury as hundreds of jobs are axed at Fife plastics complex

- CHRIS MCCALL

ONE of Scotland's biggest industrial sites is to be shut down next year, with hundreds of jobs put at risk amid what a union calls “economic carnage”.

The US owners of Fife Ethelyne Plant (FEP) at Mossmorran, near Cowdenbeath, which produces the base material for plastics, made the announcement at a staff-wide meeting yesterday morning.

The plant is owned by Texas giant ExxonMobil and employs 180 staff directly. In addition to 200 contractors, another 50 roles could be lost as a result of the closure.

No timescale was confirmed but unions are braced for the majority of staff being out of jobs by February.
