Travel group seeks order on sit-in

THOMAS Cook will this morning seek a full High Court injunction to force striking workers to move from the Grafton Street store where they have been staging a sit-in since last Friday.

The travel agent received a temporary injunction from the court on Saturday, but the 40 striking workers ignored it and continued their protest at the city-centre shop.

The action by the staff, which include two pregnant women, began on Friday after management announced the immediate closure of the company’s two offices in the city.
