Vita Cortex Talks Continue
Labour Court chairman, Kevin Duffy, led mediation discussions with SIPTU representatives and the owners of Vita Cortex in the latest effort to resolve the long running dispute at the former foam manufacturing in Cork.
Duffy, who is assisted by former Labour Court officials, Jack Nash and John Doherty, convened the talks in Dublin on Thursday which will centre on the demand by the Vita Cortex workers for their agreed redundancy payments from the company.
They received their statutory redundancy entitlements of two weeks per year of service from the Department of Social Protection in February.
The workers have been occupying the Vita Cortex plant on the Kinsale Road in Cork since 16th December last.
