Foreign Workers Sign Agreements for Labor Abuse Settlement in Milan US Consulate Project
More than 60 foreign workers, mostly from India, building the new US consulate in Milan have signed agreements to receive payouts averaging 45,000 euros each as part of a 31-million-euro settlement with American construction company Caddell Construction. The settlement addresses alleged labor abuses including unpaid overtime and illegal housing deductions. Prosecutors describe it as Europe's largest labor exploitation settlement. Around 480 workers are expected to receive compensation, with payments due within 30 days of signing. Workers agreed not to disparage Caddell or disclose individual amounts.
