Vita protesters block sister company

Frustrated ex-workers involved in a sit-in at the Vita Cortex plant have escalated their protest by blocking access to the factory site and preventing the removal of goods by sister company Vita Clean.

Today marks the 107th day of the sit-in over redundancy pay at the closed foam packaging plant on the Kinsale Road in Cork.

Vita Clean, which supplies chemical-free cleaning solutions, had stayed in operation at the Kinsale road site since the sit-in began.
