Feds target CHCH for unpaid wages

The federal government is investigating CHCH TV over its failure to pay workers fired just before Christmas in a sudden bankruptcy, reports the Hamilton Spectator.

Employment and Skills Development Canada said the probe will examine failure to pay wages and other amounts when the holding company that operated CHCH TV news filed for bankruptcy. 

The report says the government is unable to take direct action to recover money owed the employees but company directors may be held individually responsible.
