how have you heard that send that or less the advice she read? like she wants to go to this board, add this magic copy. this entire process was like, i need to show you letter of everything that everyone there today and did the, the head start to is the only difference as being that the but is in back. i'm do you, what does that light let us i have. well, this friend did mine since when the last time that i base this excited was been a dispute. what worked it out was the date it was like and then spend some extra music is something that has always been like a home for me. so what did i have to do that if i did that one thing the the seasonal migrant workers in italy, most of them harvest fruits and vegetables destined for elsewhere in europe. they

earn a pittance then some people could make 2500 a year because he was like 2 months us one or 2 months we talked to gets to see them rate because from maybe 0. can you opposite? can you go to the portal? literally off of work to easier for you are you also calculated $3000.00. i mean the highest that is nobody to but thousands of these migrants live in shantytown square. there is no electricity, no running water and no toilets. the

in mid april, it's emptier than usual. in both of them it's, i don't a near the city of georgia. this is one of italy's largest informal settlements. co suca salma is a migrant worker. there's not much to harvest and poorly at this time of year. there's been a lot of rain in the last few days, so work and the surrounding fields has ground to a halt to pass the time cows who is visiting a neighbor who lives a few shacks away. he's my friend, i come to visit my friend. i really appreciate it from you. um is this is like a window use my plan was i use cooking cooking for for, for us. ok. this is for you. right. right. i put this into your study. i'm trying to reach and i'm trying to put something useful for the sometimes i to once

you do this, i'm tired of leaving you to because if i said, you said you would need to have it in the money would be enough to $1.00 of the end of that's why we, we have to cook it. so if we did for, for these 5, did you get the biggest price? what would you want to continue? the recommendation here is, is low with enough because many awards maybe have, you know, they expect to have a place like these come from a new find another place that gets enough with the not of the house who has recognized refugee status and is allowed to work in italy, but seasonal work as a farm hand is all he's ever been able to find. i want it to live. that's why i'm,

he came to, you know, because i, the life i'm leaving bob cool. easily efficient to leave the. so that's why we call i come to your house who is 29 and has been in europe for 12 years. he was 17. when he was rescued, trying to cross the mediterranean in a small boat. the i'm from guy. ok. i came to maybe i didn't talk to, maybe i can be said, but my proposal for me to tell somebody to so to me we need bit of life. that's why we buy me. of the italy's agricultural sector relies on migrant workers like him. they come from africa, india and pakistan. and once here fall victim to what's known as the agro mafia.

the italian trade union, c, g i l, estimates that around 400000 people are exploited or a legally employed in agriculture across the country. the mafia has infiltrated the industry couple in ali, our mafioso, who act as middlemen between farmers and labors. they keep a close eye on the workers and make sure they produce as much as possible. a company in house who in the fields would be a risk for everyone who might be is that what would you want to use that? what they would take tardy to work? i literally work locally the no one will pay you one, so you'll have to what kind of you when he meets, what can you do? you don't know where he stay. why did you come to the coast anyway? i have no power to go and look for you. so you're welcome me for the one the front of the place. because when you walk within the 20 days or more on that later, she will not tell you. no, no,

i'm going to pay what that means. this exploitation of field workers in italy has been happening for over a century. in the past the mafia exploited italian labors. now the victims are migrant, so were unable to defend themselves. but there are people who are fighting on their behalf. the yvonne suddenly once worked in the field of puleo in southern italy, himself. he experienced exploitation firsthand and organized the protest. today he campaigns for fair wages and decent working conditions in the agricultural sector. in 2011, he found that an organization that obliges producers to pay farm workers fair wages . it's called no cap. as in no cap, what ali sonya is visiting

a strawberry farm that works with the organization. around 150 people work on this 150 hector farm. when you're naples for 7 euro and $0.98 per hour. they have health insurance producer mikaela montela complies with the sectors wage agreement so low that let's go this way. gomez, value the schools out there was do you have a minute? all right. have you heard of? no. cannot even look up. may not even button. i'm sorry you back. sorry about society. the ones where are you from the machine a fast. oh, do you not ugly anymore? romania, romania, the king of paso ma lane is saying i got santa go gambia instead of outside of international montana is on there like that. and that so not everybody together.

we're a family. yeah, that's right. that's good. administrative, i know you're from last. yeah. hi. good morning. i'm doing great level the i'm all paid a week. i'm paying for what goes wrong. that's not what i've already been k a, but they won't say they're all producers who aren't like mikaela, montana, martinos as in and also to exploit the way. cuz okay, and don't give them a contract with authority. 95. and they, even if they do know funding, they pay badly funded, are going to that the funding contract amount on final banning mikaela montela is $1.00 of your biggest producers of organic strawberries. many of the fruit pickers come back here every year to work for him in the harvest season. the high alley. so right is that most of the you the most share us, you know, even safe and sound. yes, yes, we met during the potato hottest and how are you?

how's your family? because you know, took that off of my family is good. i think the lord, i think the lord and how are you doing doing well look on the road. yeah, we just checking how many hours you work a day like they will. 7 will jordan no. not 20. right? say they said this is not they know 20 because some do 10. 1213. right, so no, no, no, no, no. uh okay. the week. wow. no 7, it's fine. okay. okay. boost kind of pace now due to the stuff i do, do i always to pay slips in the simpler was about minutes. so we stacy yvonne. sonya exchanges telephone numbers with several of the workers and tells them to contact him if they have any problems. in normally what's your full name about? uh about a 100. it's about them both at all. okay, do that. okay, if i can help i well, your brother to your friend, john gimme

a call. we'll help you if you need a lawyer. lemme see if i have a problem with my documents. i'll contact you about a lawyer the wrong so. okay, and we have a lawyer, i use the car, but i 20 agricultural companies have joined the no cap network since 2019 yvon. sonya has helped around $1500.00 migrants and secure proper employment contracts the same. so i mean, it keeps my life meaning when i was kinda unhappy level, a little bit of interest because i trying to make out that people have a qualitative features when i see that happy it gives meaning to my existence. i'm happy with that that i mean otherwise life wouldn't be worth living now. the that that gives the living a need for yourself makes no sense in the cleaning. we need to give happen is to

the people around us solely as a private leader and professionally allow the best one to get to keep going down to setup to to be the stop with you. my proof is yvonne son yay! is on a mission to put a stop to the exploitation of workers in italy's agricultural sector, but he never planned to be an activist. he originally wanted to be an engineer. sunjay was born in cameron room in 1985. he came to whitley on a scholarship in 2007 to study. in the summer of 2011, he worked in the tomato field puleo because he wanted to earn some extra money. go to the same level, the working conditions. what terrible on one particular day i exploded with angus, and that's how the strike began. he convinced thousands of harvest

workers to stop working. there was an outbreak challenge to the mafia which is still divided into sold. you know, we were threatened with guns knives faced and more cautious. sonya sparked a debate about the agro mafia that paved the way for laws that criminalize the capital alondo system. in 2017, he was awarded the motor of merit of the italian republic and encouragement to me in 2018. the no cap organization that pushed for fair working conditions in agriculture was still in its infancy. lot has happened since then. today, no cap is an established network and a brand the,

[000:00:00;00] the gina of nemo has been working at a strawberry farm since last year. she picks up her fellow workers at the train station in advance of a small town near naples. the many bus service is free. that's not something that can be taken for granted. most field workers in southern italy have to pay out of their own pocket to get to work. the black market bosses use the shuttle service as a way of cutting the workers wages. the gina avo nima drives a mini bus provided by eve on sundays organization. when it's harvest season in southern italy,

20 no cap buses take $350.00 people to work free of charge every day. the tina and her team pack strawberries that grow and michela montela fields into plastic trays. they're destined for major supermarket chains in germany, denmark and other countries in europe. the organic strawberries are about 30 percent more expensive than ones produced on other farms where workers are exploited. of the shift is 7 hours long, including a one hour break. no cap of regularly checks that the working hours are adhered to the new cost. it will not be a slice it. that's why everybody most comes to know. everybody must know i button

ok. so that's not the slice it in this section here. i guess 1100. all 1150. i got to the phase when i come to us, if i don't make any sense, sometimes have nissan because i have to with her other jobs, she earns about 800 euros a month, but often works longer shifts than she does here. they don't get pastries like these anywhere else either it feels like it's like ever working for me, tell us what she was like uh and finally she worked for mikaela montela for 3 months, but after the harvest he won't have any more work for her. the migrant workers are used to having to scramble from job to job on this.

like i said, this is only yeah, unless i if i the cleaning elvia i just want a job. as soon as i turn everyone wanted to know, are you running green is best for the sex on the i lost funding my grand prairie and the way from so one day maybe one day when i go back to my conference, i will try to make a farm, is it flashing it when my mother and she's still coming in? i let him back here. so i something that will which doesn't look to love to see the land there. so beautiful day. gina avo niema is treated well. i'm michela montela strawberry farm. but his farm is an exception. most field worker's labor in terrible conditions. there are debts every year, from sheet on the fields,

or an accidents with overloaded trucks. the notorious both of them, it's a known islam grew up on the runway of a disused airport. fires have broken out here in this sprawling chaotic shanty town . people have died in april. that's emptier than usual. many of the people who live here have moved to calabria for the orange harvest. the mafia even makes money from both of them. it's a known name, building houses and renting them out to workers. cows to kazama is one of the few skilled laborers here. he's good at bricklaying plumbing and repairing roofs, but he can't conjure water out of nowhere. seed as low as a. yeah. this is how we we normally kind of what today dies on water.

so of for now. yeah. for now you cannot do anything. so that's what, what the problem twice a week and aid organization fills the tanks with drinking water. but it's not enough. if anyone arrives too late, they get nothing. i see seem like obstacle because i forgot one. so you some how or what the problems y'all from any problems like what's uh it yeah that 12 people need good life to change. that's why many people today because they're not on good life because of some of the, it seems like this. the slum 1st emerged some 20 years ago. a collection of make shift shacks of cardboard and plastic. these days there are also buildings erected by the mafia where residents have to pay rent of about $50.00 euro a month for a home without a toilet. and they have no choice,

but to use the surrounding fields. it's very difficult. that's plus, that's the life live without toilet because every day, while you're doing the drinking water, you need to come out diagnose yourself. so if you don't have to do that, it's not good at all. ensuring access to water and sanitation for all is one of the goals of the united nations agenda 2030 toilets on our recognized human rights that has been ignored by the authorities in southern italy for years. the state tolerates the inhumane conditions the official refugee camp and forward. yeah. which has a water supply in sanitary facilities is located right next to the slums where some 5000 people live during the tomato harvest the

but it's not just the toilets that are lacking. the residence of both of them, it's on own. they are also cut off from the internet. yvonne sunjay believes free access to the internet is crucial. in the slums church. he's meeting up with a man who shares his face and approves of his mission. son, he hopes to persuade pastor charles to support his plan for an internet cafe inside the church. i hope that more people want to send email. if you want to send email, come to same email liking to admit that you don't going to fall joplin too, but anything but you have a need to you. this is the project. ok. split. very simple. i. i really thank you all for the as the god bless you and the gods increase your

business and then my team name of jesus christ. thank you. i mean, i mean i, i'm very i'll be assessed. i'm ready. ok, thank you. let me pull it up. can you take a picture of me, take a photo of me, the priest and the computer that i really i'm going to complete the muscle to don't pay for to be thought a lot. it's about making it easier to access the internet so they can send emails to make photocopies and k quest store. and if they need to make a copy of that residents problem, they don't id con, which i mean, and then they have to travel to the phone jack, which is far away, but not for john k monitor on town with the queen. the fold you is the provincial capital of

a pool. yeah. it's around 20 kilometers west of both of them. it's not only yvonne sonya is visiting a branch of a larger tell egon supermarket chain there of the limits in 2019 the organization teamed up with producers to sell fresh vegetables and tomato posada certified with the no cap logo. wow, i the spell crazy. i used to look up the know capital the, the, the, that all of them. so move to 9 2nd because you all set the top cap on our lot to put a lot of, you know, cap got to 80 percent to something come to regional produced in collaboration with no cap, no cap. it'd be to cannick and did santa come to go about no cap products or around

a 3rd more expensive then conventionally produced products their own prominent display in the store, things to the manager to meet on sonya has known for years. 7 7 jones director and how's it going this story most customers appreciate the products because of the quality and the social aspect . we live in a region where the problem is deeply rooted. oh i see. so some people welcome the initiative. they're very open to buying no cap goods. is it most of the key spots of the veterans? the support of the supermarket chains is very important. one cities, it allows for an ethical supply chain and helps improve conditions for the workers and also have the company level. it's all in a question of the price, right? any price that's at the end, right?

so now i see around $300000.00 no cap cans and bottles of tomato posada are sold every year. this is a fraction of the more than 6000000 tons of 10 tomatoes produced in italy every year, mostly, and inhumane conditions. fairly produced goods are still nice products. 2 in this supermarket, which heavily promotes the no cap products. 2 out of 10 customers choose them. i used to have you seen the stop capital alonzo product for the building to see if there's any so that's fennel, right? that if you know it's panels, and i get under joel. yeah. so now it makes me very happy. i'm very touch it a see a few years ago. i couldn't to imagine that our products will be on the shelves of

alarm supermarket. i don't mean my g novel just sort of presenting that quote and that email super adult to natalie scott finally do need it. so gratifying to have achieved the test results, a cleaning, it will not be left with dyslexia and i, but kitchen cause i didn't go could i still could see of the company is distributors and consumers all have to play that part on it. it goes to my goal, goes to my boy, i think we'd be able to find a lot of positive yet 8 out of 10 customers still decide against no cap products. basically allowing the exploitation of workers to continue even if they don't realize that. or there's no minimum wage and italy the end of the minimum wage could definitely give work or stability to use a subsidies on it, but at least provide them with a secure monthly income on that just that side slot, again, distribute. i know you mentioned

most e u countries have a minimum wage in germany. it was also a wage dumping in the agricultural sector that prompted politicians to introduce legislation. field workers like how to cosign uh would benefit greatly from a minimum wage. right now, he has another problem in order to extend his residence permit. he needs a permanent address. that's what if, what do you mean these police want to go and stay inside the don't know to do the conditions. why would be, will i hit with some difficult difficulty of housing where to find houses and then you know, the, that's the problem because if you go and look for housing some way, they would not like to read to you. that would say no, we don't one block, this is a rental. our husband from the south, one of the you said kind of slightly what i said we are leaving here. so we have to be, you have to will be what,

since you hit the condition needed, you have to obviously because you want the money. so here's the one you want to do it. that's what it is. it kind of slaves, of course, instead of close to the, the, the government in rome is aware that there is widespread exploitation in the agricultural sector. in 2016, a new law tackling forms of severe labor exploitation in agriculture was introduced in part thanks to yvonne suddenly he now lives in rome with his wife and 2 children . he feels safer here than in the south. his apartment is also his workplace. from here, he continues to campaign for the rights of migrant workers. he says the country

needs to understand their contribution to italy quickly. so what i would have to get it up is, is done to these people that helping boost the economy. the fund moves that they're working for, it's really not just for themselves, funding for the thought. if it gets installed without migrants italian agriculture, i wouldn't be in trouble to get it so that you can keep it all. so it's the duty of the states to respond to the needs of the seasonal workers and across the country to provide them with accommodation in the the year. but it looks like the government isn't interested, would it be that would go to specials on a deep dive? yeah, we're at a standstill. right now. things are going defined quite just wait a minute, cause and say yvonne sonya wants to put an end to criminal exploitation of migrants. he's planning to launch no cabin spain, portugal and greece,

where workers are also faced with in humane conditions that he experienced himself . and will never forget the living in the rise. well, how do we reconcile all the t? well yes, i think i think everybody has a job improve time and time again. and cannot be that very sweet or is future for us. i'm rich in 30 minutes on
