The Grangemouth refinery workers are so essential to this nation's wellbeing that their stopping work for two days will bring it to the verge of economic and logistical meltdown. That's the impression I get from reading and viewing our balanced media (Would they lie to me?).
You would think that such key figures in our nation's welfare would be treated with respect by their employers.
One problem, it appears that the workers have a nice little nest egg tucked away in the form of a pension fund, and the bosses want it. Not satisfied with having black-holed* £40million the gaffers want more.
It's time our education system spelt out this lesson for the future battalions of the exploited; capitalism means taking from the poor and redistributing to the rich. LIVE WITH IT!

*Employers never loot their employees' pension funds, according to the media. It just disappears down a "black hole".
