Foreign workers on US Consulate project in Italy complain of labor abuses

Foreign workers building a sprawling $350 million American Consulate in Milan say they were paid less than $2 an hour after being promised fair wages. That is according to Associated Press interviews with five former employees and a review of their employment letters and pay stubs. Italian prosecutors are investigating Montgomery, Alabama-based Caddell Construction, a major builder of U.S. diplomatic missions abroad. Prosecutors say two of its managers in Italy were arrested this month on suspicion of labor exploitation. The probe involves some 70 workers, mostly from India. The company and the U.S. State Department say they are investigating the allegations.

Salon.com | Trump admin faces scrutiny for how it’s handing out billion-dollar border wall contracts by Sam Karas, Big Bend Sentinel, Perla Trevizo, Misty Harris

AI generated summary, Read the full article for complete information.

The article reports that a New York‑based construction firm, Posillico Civil Inc., has sued the Trump administration after it awarded roughly $14 billion—about 73 % of the value of new Texas border‑wall contracts—to just two companies, Fisher Sand & Gravel and Barnard Construction, despite there being 11 pre‑qualified vendors; the lawsuit highlights that Fisher’s earlier work was linked to the controversial “We Build the Wall” nonprofit (whose leaders faced prison time), suffered shoddy construction and legal challenges, and that the administration has relied on no‑bid contracts, extensive waivers of standard procurement rules, and loyalty‑based selections rather than competitive value, prompting criticism from experts, residents, and watchdog groups over transparency, cost overruns, and the broader political motivation to fast‑track the wall’s construction.
