He told the BBC’s Good Morning Scotland radio programme on Tuesday: “We welcome the comments by Anas Sarwar that nowhere near enough progress has been done to support the refinery workers but the reality is these words have come far too late and it follows the redundancy notices being issued last week.
The Scottish Labour leader told BBC Scotland on Monday there has been “nowhere near enough progress” on supporting workers at the plant near Falkirk.
Mr Sarwar said the UK Government is “looking robustly” at a future for the site, adding: “Where we are now, there has been some progress but nowhere near enough progress, and I keep pressing that case.”.
The Scottish Labour leader has been accused of conducting a “face-saving exercise” after he said not enough has been done to stop the closure of the Grangemouth oil refinery.
Unite’s Scottish secretary, Derek Thomson, claimed there have been “radio silence” from Mr Sarwar on the closure of the refinery.
