VIDEO: Tullis Russell workers speak of their anger at emergency trade union meeting

Workers from the closure-threatened Tullis Russell paper mill in Markinch have spoken of anger and anguish at being made redundant.

Families with a century of employment between them were amongst those who attended an emergency trade union meeting in Glenrothes.
