Grangemouth - Asset Stripping Scotland

In this powerful episode, recorded live at a Yes Glasgow NW event, guest speaker Scott Donohoe from Glasgow Trade Union council delivers a passionate and informative talk on the planned closure of the Grangemouth oil refinery — a decision that threatens thousands of jobs, livelihoods, and the stability of the local community.

Scott outlines a detailed historical timeline of events, highlighting the ongoing struggles of the workforce and exposing Labour's broken promises to protect vital Scottish industry. The session includes a raw, emotional audience discussion capturing the real anger, betrayal, and concerns from the people most affected.
