LRC to hold talks to end Vita sit-in

THE Labour Relations Commission (LRC) will chair talks next week in a bid to end the month-long Vita Cortex sit-in.

The intervention came last night as the former Vita Cortex workers in Cork prepared for a rally outside Leinster House today, the 27th day of their campaign for redundancy payments.

Following days of behind-the-scenes contacts involving the LRC and IBEC, the commission confirmed last night that it had issued invitations to Siptu and Vita Cortex to attend “exploratory talks”.
