Employees of insolvent TV channel to receive handout

Labor Minister Effie Achtsioglou on Tuesday signed a decision that will result in the distribution of a one-off support handout of 1,000 euros to each worker of bankrupt TV channel Mega, for a total of 470,000 euros.

Mega, whose employees have gone for months without payment, suspended its program in September 2016, weighed down by its debts to banks.
