There are tens of thousands of Chinese garment workers employed in the Prato textile district alone, often keeping within their own communities. Capasa says there have been times when the industry has not come across as it should. “What they [the authorities] found was this Chinese community [in Italy] that is very closed, with their own rules. That’s why we need a law, to bring everyone to the same level.”Can Italy lead the way forward? Capasa says Italy now has an opportunity to lead the way on protecting workers in the supply chain.
