A union has called for greater support from the public and politicians for its campaign to protect jobs at the Grangemouth industrial complex. Unite wants owners Petroineos to delay the planned closure of its oil refinery until alternative jobs are secured at the site and energy security concerns have been evaluated. The union also wants the petrochemical giant to invest in Grangemouth to ensure the plant becomes a world class leader in renewable energies .
Unite is now urging Scots to back its Keep Grangemouth Working campaign on social media. Derek Thomson, Unite Scottish Secretary, told the Record: "The initiative is part of Unite's wider campaign to support and retain the jobs of 500 highly-skilled oil refinery workers. "However, it's also about supporting the thousands of jobs directly and indirectly dependent on the wider Grangemouth complex. "We are clear that if we are going to extend the lifespan of the oil refinery then we are going to need the backing of local people, businesses and politicians. "It's our ambition that this new social media platform will help us reach as many people as possible in our fight to save jobs." A fringe event will also take place at next week's STUC conference in Dundee where workers from Grangemouth will be among the speakers

The NEU's general secretary, Daniel Kebede, highlighted the problem of sexism and misogyny in schools, which he believes is being fueled by exposure to harmful online content. Kebede called on the Government to take action against big technology companies, as he believes the issue is too widespread to be solely addressed by schools and parents. He also expressed concerns about the influence of social media influencers and aggressive pornography on young boys' perceptions of women and relationships.
