Edward Davey statement on Grangemouth

Edward Davey statement on the decision by Unite to strike at the Grangemouth plant in Scotland.

This was published under the 2010 to 2015 Conservative and Liberal Democrat coalition government

Energy Secretary Edward Davey said:

“It’s very disappointing that Unite has decided to strike. I urge them to call it off and for both parties involved to enter into talks about the long term future of the Grangemouth plant and reach a fair, sustainable resolution.

“We have been working closely with the fuel industry and Scottish Government to put robust alternative supply routes in place in the case of a strike, which means that motorists can carry on as normal and other impacts will be kept to a minimum.”
