“But what exploiters! We are scammed”. So had already declared, in an interview with ‘Il Gazzettino’, Fabio Franceschi, president of Grafica Veneta, regarding the investigation into hiring and exploitation of Pakistani workers. “Grafica Veneta is a multinational company, with 800 employees distributed between Trebaseleghe and Chicago – he explains – at the bottom of the Padua plant, which is one kilometer long, 8 Pakistanis worked on average, which changed every two or three days. They were not our employees. but the company BM Service, our supplier as well as Mondadori and others, according to a total outsourcing scheme: we commissioned the boxes, they organized the business; they invoiced, we paid “.
Grafica Veneta: “We focus on workers who live in Veneto”
Now Franceschi returns to the topic with another interview, this time in La Stampa, to which he explains why he said he wanted from now on only “native” workers: “There are foreigners who, in recent years, have rented houses, but now they do not pay the condominium expenses and it is impossible to send them away. Our territory is a bit traumatized by this particular presence. We do not feel like hiring people who do not live here, because ours is like a family, we would immediately work to find accommodation and guarantee for the house. Then we focus on the territory. But our company works all over the world, we cannot have only Venetians “, he told La Stampa. And the Pakistanis “we don’t want any more. In 5 years they haven’t learned a word of Italian. They are not like Romanians and Filipinos, who have a culture close to ours”.
