Hundreds face unemployment as Murco refinery deal collapses
Hundreds of workers in Milford Haven are facing unemployment after a deal to buy the Murco oil refinery collapsed.
Meetings take place over Milford Haven oil refinery
Union representatives will be holding urgent meetings with Welsh Government ministers later today and will press the Westminster to intervene to secure an alternative buyer.
Britain’s largest union, Unite is calling for a taskforce originally set up to secure the future of Murco’s Milford Haven oil refinery to be reconvened following the collapse of the refinery’s sale. The refinery employs over 400 people and its closure could undermine the future security of fuel supply, warns the union.
