- Title

- Abstract
The article examines the attitude of the National Union of Agricultural Workers towards the employment of Italian and German prisoners of war during and after the Second World War. It mentions the intensification of resistance towards their employment after the end of the conflict, highlighting fears that the extensive use of forced and foreign labour would undermine the position of farm workers, allowing employers and the government to sidestep the issue of improving conditions in agriculture.
