Letter: Pete Roche In his article “Self-indulgent Greens are giving Hunterston workers the blues” (Business, last week), Michael Glackin doesn’t mention that EDF Energy is planning to close the two Hunterston 2 reactors in 2023 anyway. It would be interesting to know what the GMB is planning to do to help create new jobs to replace those that will be lost. It might be sensible for the GMB to seek the support of Green MSPs to argue for government interventions to create jobs, given that they are committed to “a just transition of the workforce and the creation of decent work and quality jobs” as mentioned in the 2015 Paris Climate Agreement.
