Caserta, 13 March 2024 – The provincial secretariats of Fim, Fiom and Uilm of Caserta have called a 4-hour strike for tomorrow, Thursday, March 14, in all the metalworking companies in the province. The protest was called following the death of Giuseppe Borrelli, the 25-year-old worker crushed by a machine in the Laminazione Sottile plant in San Marco Evangelista.
The words of the unions:
“The frequency with which workplace deaths occur is unacceptable,” the unions said in a statement. “Campania is one of the main regions where fatal accidents occur. The unions hope that the competent authorities will quickly clarify what happened. These deaths are not tragic fatalities, but consequences of a profoundly flawed system, which puts profit before the value of life.”
The demand for greater security:
“The union insistently reiterates the investment of resources to strengthen and improve a prevention system guaranteeing health and safety in the workplace,” the note continues. “The RSU of the Laminazione Sottile plant did well to immediately stop the plants by declaring a strike on all work shifts.”
A national problem:
“You cannot die at work,” the unions concluded. “In a civilized country, appeals and platitudes cannot and must not be enough. Measures are needed to restore dignity to work. We await the investigations, sharing the pain of the family and making ourselves available immediately for any action that may be necessary.”
The mobilization continues:
Tomorrow's strike is only the beginning of the unions' mobilization against deaths at work. The provincial secretariats of Fim, Fiom and Uilm have announced that they will continue to guard the workplace and ask the institutions for concrete measures for the safety of workers.
