La notizia dei laboratori contoterzisti cinesi che producono il made in Italy mette a nudo le contraddizioni di un sistema che da un lato ostenta l'eccellenza italiana e dall'altro si appoggia a filiere opache.

Cade la maschera dei belli e bravi. Ma è una verità che si conosceva da tempo.

Il primo maggio 2023 raccontavo questo:

Made in “Chitaly”: Chinese workers operating in Italy

What happens in Italy is no different. In order to keep their higher profit margins, brands commission productions to Chinese laboratories, asking for the lowest price. So the dream of “Made in Italy” is kept alive, at least for those with no sense of quality. Forget any minimum wage!

A Crisis In Indian Banking: How High Targets, Work Pressure Are Driving Employees To Despair, Suicide

Work woes pushed nearly 500 bank employees in India to suicide over the past decade. Some left damning letters citing abuse by seniors, and unions said staff were being coerced to commit fraud in order to present a rosy picture of achieved targets. Customers are not unaffected—fraudulent practices rob account-holders, litigation costs affect shareholders’ dividends. Over 100 letters by staffers, unions to management detailed systemic abuse and disempowerment of employees, and normalisation of fraud. The second of a two-part series.
