Workers continue sit-in at Wicklow bookbinding firm

Fourteen staff members are continuing a sit in at a bookbinding company in Wicklow town today.

Management at Reilly Bookbinders told staff 10 days ago that it was ceasing operations.

The workers were laid off with immediate effect and began their sit in the following day.

The company is the country's largest library bookbinders and staff believe their jobs will be outsourced to eastern Europe.
