Luca Toscano
Luca Toscano is the secretary of Sudd-Cobas in Prato, Italy, and a prominent figure in the labor movement advocating for the rights of textile workers. He has been instrumental in leading a seven-year struggle against exploitative labor practices in the region's garment industry, which has been marked by long working hours and unsafe conditions. Toscano played a key role in recent strikes that resulted in 27 companies agreeing to implement an eight-hour workday, a significant victory for the workers often referred to as 'slaves of the textile industry.' His efforts highlight the ongoing challenges and violent opposition faced by labor activists in the fight for workers' rights.
