Richard Leonard MSP is calling on the Scottish Government intervention to help save the jobs of more than 50 workers at a waste management company in Shotts.
The former Scottish Labour leader believes they need to “take a much more active role” in helping to save the jobs of 53 people at Cliniwaste in Shotts, which is set to close at the end of the month.
Workers at the waste management site have been given notice of redundancy. Many of them were previously employed at the same site by scandal-hit Healthcare Environmental Services (HES) which closed in December 2018 as clinical waster piled up.
