Spillane to headline candlelit vigil for Vita Cortex workers

Family and friends of the Vita Cortex workers are planning a candlelit vigil at the factory next week.

They have invited the public to “stand in solidarity” with the workers at 7.30pm on Friday March 2. By that stage, the workers will be in the 11th week of their sit-in at the former foam packaging factory in Cork.

Singer songwriter John Spillane, who has pledged his support to their ongoing campaign for redundancy entitlements, has agreed to perform at the event.
