Work: “Enough dead”, at the start of the national building demonstration – First Floor

(ANSA) – ROME, NOV 13 – The national demonstration of construction workers in Rome kicks off to say “Enough dead at work” and “Enough over 60 on scaffolding”. At the appointment, in piazza Santi Apostoli, the general secretaries of Cgil, Cisl and Uil, Maurizio Landini, Luigi Sbarra and Pierpaolo Bombardieri, together with the general secretaries of the construction unions Alessandro Genovesi (Fillea-Cgil), Enzo Pelle (Filca-Cisl ) and Vito Panzarella (Feneal-Uil). The initiative, decided at the beginning of last October, becomes in fact the first meeting in the square after the start of the joint mobilization in support of the proposals to modify the measures provided for in the Budget law, starting with pensions. Among other points, the unions are asking precisely to strengthen the tools for early exit and therefore to recognize the construction workers of the social Ape with 30 years of contributions (compared to the current 36 years) and to make it structural for the burdensome “because the jobs are not all the same”. At the center of the event, the issues of health and safety in the workplace, in the face of the “massacre” that does not stop and that for the trade unions must be addressed as a real national emergency. In nine months, between January and September, 910 victims at work have already been reported to Inail. For Fillea, Filca and Feneal, the government has given some initial answers with the tax decree, but these are not enough. The trade unions are asking for the introduction of the Points license in the construction sector, using the single database of accidents, to reward the most virtuous companies and sanction, even in accessing public tenders and concessions, those who do not respect the rules. Implement an extraordinary Inail Plan, apply the national construction contract to all workers on site, strengthen investments in safety and introduce the aggravating circumstance in the Criminal Code, in the event of the company being convicted, for “fatal accident at work “.
