European Parliament OK's support for laid off Fiat workers

The Budget Commission of the European Parliament has approved a refund to the Polish government for the support of laid off workers at the Fiat Auto Poland factory in Tychy, reported IAR. A return of the money is just a formality that's due to take place during the next plenary session. A total of PLN 1.2 million had been paid out in severance pay to 1,300 workers, when the factory cut jobs. Today, only 85 workers of the 1,300 are still without a job, according to European Parliament deputy Jan Olbrycht.
