One group stormed one of the factory buildings in Kilwinning, Ayrshire during a meeting at the plant, Daily Record reports.
Willie Paterson, Scottish regional secretary of Community, said "Simclar appear to have no shame about how they treat the loyal, highly skilled workforce in Ayrshire. Another storming took place in Irvine outside the second axed factory. A worker there said: "It's absolutely ridiculous we are not even getting a decent redundancy package."
