(ANSA) - VENICE, MARCH 28 - Almost 2,000 irregular workers, mostly Bengalis and Eastern Europeans, paid on meager wages, have been discovered by the Guardia di Finanza in the shipbuilding industry of Venice, as part of an investigative activity coordinated by the prosecutor of the lagoon Republic.
The investigation, in collaboration with the Labor Inspectorate, was aimed at bringing to light the existence of systematic practices of exploitation of the workforce within the Venetian shipyards.
These are workers who were paid with irregular wages and often deprived of the most basic rights sanctioned by collective agreements.
