IN any industrial dispute or closure there’s a battle of the narrative waged between employers and employees seeking to get their side of the story out. It’s important, as it sets the tone in the press but also with the public.
That’s why this fight is Scotland’s fight and why the workforce are fighting for much more than just their own jobs. It’s for our industrial base and jobs for future generations. Cue much hand wringing and soul searching as a stake is to be driven through the community and country’s heart. What can be done, it is just inevitable, is the fiction being portrayed.
The extent of that pledge is into the hundreds of millions, while Grangemouth only requires a fraction of that. The logic according to the business department is that it will support UK jobs in the supply chain – though it is unable to specify just how many, or indeed seem to have taken into account how many will be lost.
