Jonathan O'Brien (Cork North Central, Sinn Fein)

The programme for Government and the Labour Party manifesto contain a commitment to legislate for workers' rights. Today in Cork, the Vita Cortex workers are entering their 91st day of occupation to get what was promised to them. One of the most honourable things about those workers is that they are not just doing that for themselves, but also for other workers. They have said repeatedly that they want to see legislation brought before this House that prevents any other employer doing to his or her workers what their employer has done to them.
