Yesterday, Irene Velotti, secretary of the Fillea-CGIL union in Caserta, raised the alarm about workers' working conditions during heatwaves, citing the case of the Caserta hospital construction site, "where instead requests were made to increase the workload to cope with the progress of the project."
Today, the site management of Condotte 1880, the company responsible for the construction of the polyclinic, stated that "it has informed the various subcontractors and its own workers that on June 19th, 20th, and 21st, due to the expected rise in temperatures above 35°C (6°F), it has announced a reduced and different working schedule. This means a single shift from 13:9 a.m. to 30:10 p.m., with a break for refreshments on site from 00:XNUMX a.m. to XNUMX:XNUMX a.m., while ensuring, throughout working hours, a continuous recycling of cold drinks delivered to workers."
The whole thing, the note specifies, "was done as a precautionary measure, in line with the same situation that arose both last year, in the July period, and two years ago, in the same period. This demonstrates how much work is being done in the construction site Policlinico Please care about the health of your workers. The issue of increasing working hours required to accommodate the progress of the work is unrelated to the weather. Indeed, it was emphasized several times, including during the meeting held at our offices on June 17th, that, should the adverse conditions due to high temperatures arise, we would apply the reduced hours provided for by the 2022/2023 Inail Cigo (Layoff Indemnity Fund). Finally, the safety measures adopted to date remain unchanged, and we constantly monitor temperature forecasts.
