Exploitation of construction workers at Milan's new U.S. Consulate site

Exploitative labor practices, including extortion and online recruitment, have been uncovered at a construction site for the new U.S. Consulate in Milan. Workers are allegedly paid significantly less than their contracted wages, with a portion going to supervisors. This exploitation is facilitated by a lack of oversight and a shortage of labor inspectors. Similar incidents have occurred at other major construction projects in Milan, highlighting a systemic issue within the subcontracting system in the construction industry.
