Modena, construction worker earned one euro for every hour worked: after the complaint he obtained a residence permit
The man, 30 years old and of Moroccan origins, had also been the victim of an accident at work: with the help of the official of the Filea CGIL of Modena Souad Elkaddani and the lawyer Elisabetta Vandelli of the Foreign Workers Center, had filed a complaint for serious exploitation on the construction site of Castelfranco Emilia.
At this point it is the complaint for exploitation than that for failure to register with INAIL and INPSpresented to the Prosecutor’s Office and the Labor Inspectorate, determined by the prosecutor Paola Campilongo “a really important decision”, underlines the union. This is, in fact, the first case of labor exploitation recognized in Modena. The 30-year-old thus obtained a residence permit for a serious condition of work exploitation for a renewable period of one year. “All this was possible above all thanks to the active collaboration of the worker in the investigation phase. A dispute throughout Fillea, which has an important political value for all fragile and exploited workers”, is the story of Rodolfo Ferrarogeneral secretary of Fillea Cgil Modena
“We are considered a street union. Thanks to this activity – he said Pietro Imperato of the secretariat Fillea Cgil of Modena – we managed to help a worker who earned one euro an hour and who earned 250 euros for 250 hours of work. Part of the organized production model of work in Modena is based on illegality, irregularity and exploitation of work. The Bossi-Fini law must be repealed because it makes migrants vulnerable to blackmail and even more fragile”.
