SIPTU: Vita Cortex workers ‘used as pawns’

Siptu has accused the owner of Vita Cortex of using his former workers as “pawns” in his talks with Nama after it emerged he failed to deliver on a deal that could have ended the six-week sit-in last Friday.

The Labour Relations Commission adjourned conciliation talks without resolution on Friday after Jack Ronan failed to transfer an asset to Nama, as was expected.

LRC chief executive, Kieran Mulvey, declined last night to comment on the talks details.
