No just resolution for Vita Cortex workers
Geraldine McNamara PRO of Republican Sinn Fein said that the treatment of the workers at the Vita Cortex plant in Ballyphehane in Cork is disgraceful and it is nothing short of robbing the poor by NAMA who have frozen the assets of the parent company and are refusing to allow money to be used for redundancy payments to the workers who are left unemployed and penniless by the state and the company.
1.2 million Is the cost of a redundancy package she said, compare this to the payouts within the banking system which is breaking the state and it is a mere drop in the ocean.
All workers should be supporting the Vita Cortex staff and should fully support the unions in the fight for justice.
At present the 26 counties has five businesses a day closing, all of which have a devastating effect on the workers and their families.
What protection is there for them? Geraldine asked,
The workers at Vita Cortex are being sent from department to department in an effort to fob them off and break their spirit.
They have staged a sit in on the factory premises since December 17th and will continue to do so until justice prevails.
Geraldine said” This small group of workers are to be applauded for their conviction and strength of spirit and determination “
Republican Sinn Fein wishes to show solidarity with the workers and their fight to be treated with respect and dignity after many years with Vita Cortex.
