Talks to end 4Home jobs row break down

TALKS aimed at ending the dispute between DIY chain 4Home and its workers in a north Cork store broke down without agreement last night.

The 16 workers, who staged a two-day sit-in at the store in Mitchelstown as well as eight workers in a Fermoy store will decide this morning what form of action they will now take.

The company announced a fortnight ago that it was closing three of its operations in New Square, Mitchelstown; Patrick Street in Fermoy; and Annacotty, Co Limerick, with the loss of a total of 40 jobs.
