Austen Russell said MSP Dennis Robertson’s comments about the current state of the North Sea oil and gas industry felt like a “kick in the teeth”.
The 38-year-old has been tirelessly looking for work every day since he was made redundant from his job with a pipe lay company last October where he worked as a technical supervisor.
He had his first break in the industry 18 years ago when he started out as a well test trainee.
Union leader Jake Molloy said only MSP Dennis Robertson could have known what he meant to say after claiming there was "no crisis" in the North Sea oil and gas industry.
There is “no crisis” in Scotland’s oil industry despite barrel prices plummeting and tens of thousands of workers losing their jobs, an SNP MSP has claimed.
