Caddell Construction Faces Labor Exploitation Allegations in Milan Consulate Project
Foreign workers involved in the construction of a new U.S. Consulate in Milan have reported being paid less than $2 an hour, despite promises of fair wages. The allegations have prompted an investigation by Italian prosecutors into Caddell Construction, a major U.S. diplomatic mission builder. Two managers from the company were arrested in Italy on suspicion of labor exploitation. The investigation involves around 70 workers, primarily from India, who were reportedly forced to work long hours with illegal deductions for room and board. Caddell and the U.S. State Department are cooperating with Italian authorities to address these claims.
