Bookbinding firm does u-turn on plant closure
In a dramatic u-turn in the dispute, Reilly Bookbinders said it now hoped to retain its Wicklow town plant and to continue operating as it did before its shock announcement two weeks ago that it was moving to the Czech Republic.
However, the 14 workers who have been occupying the plant round the clock since the closure announcement said last night they would continue their sit-in until they had independent verification that the firm was in a position to honour its new offer to stay.
