Committee agrees to Dell pay-outs

REDUNDANT Dell workers came an important step closer to receiving the €14.8 million from the EU when the European Parliament’s employment committee agreed it yesterday.

But the MEPs warned that it smacked of European taxpayers being asked to pay out for the actions of a wealthy corporation and shield them from their responsibilities for their workers.

The Parliament’s budget committee is expected to agree the payment today leaving the way open for the Parliament to vote for it later this month ensuring the 2,840 workers get it before Christmas.
