‘We will sit in for as long as necessary’

About seven staff at HMV’s Cork store followed the example of their Limerick counterparts and entered the locked branch on St Patrick’s Street yesterday, after temporary staff hired to work over Christmas did not receive their pay.
Barry Power, the store’s assistant manager, said there are now fears the full-time staff, who are due to be paid for December work on Jan 25, will not be paid either.
