Government must set out support for workers at Mossmorran

Responding to the news that ExxonMobil is to close its Mossmorran plastics plant in Scotland, which could affect up to 180 ExxonMobil staff, 200 contractors, and around 50 other workers, North East Fife MSP Willie Rennie said:

“This will be a huge blow for workers at the plant and across the wider supply chain.

"It seems like there is lots of talk about a just transition but the governments always end up announcing closures and playing catch up.

"This is a valuable industrial site with a local workforce who are equally valuable so we need a new plan for the use of the site."
