        @scorpiotiger77 oh yeah. They should kiss the feet of their philanthropic employers for robbing their wages & violating their human rights.

        @BBCBreaking @BBCDouglasF what a complete disgrace .... The union was held to ransom! That isn't how employee relations should be handled

        @BBCBreaking @BBCDouglasF Moral: do not bother contributing to occupational pension; since it can be devalued/thieved at any time.

        @BBCBreaking @BBCDouglasF Reminds me of the sword of Solomon. The workers cared enough about Grangemouth to back down. Jim Ratcliffe didn't.

        @BBCBreaking @BBCDouglasF Great News. Yet militant, intransigent trade unionism nearly lost 800+ livelihoods. #dinosuars

        @Boosah @BBCBreaking @BBCDouglasF since when is it sense to accept worse pay and pensions than you have? When did bosses or MPs last do so?

        @sheenaghpugh @BBCDouglasF when the alternative is no job or pension. I'm a "boss" and I accept less money than in better times.

        @Boosah @BBCDouglasF but the alternative is only no job or pension because others have snouts too far in trough and won't share

        @sheenaghpugh @BBCDouglasF I can't agree that a weekly loss of £10m equates to the shareholder "troughing".
