Workers want ‘justice and fair play’

“WE’RE not giving up without a fight.”

That was the warning last night from defiant factory workers who face the dole queues today, without redundancy payments, when their jobs are axed.

The group of 35 workers at the Vita Cortex plant in Cork are caught in a stand-off between their employers and NAMA. The money for the redundancies has been frozen in the accounts of a sister company which is controlled by NAMA.
