Rome, Nov. 28th (Labitalia) – “Tomorrow, Friday November 29th, we want to take to the streets to remember all the ‘white deaths’, all the workers who tragically lost their lives while on the job. On the eve of the general strike, we believe it is crucial to shed light on the passing of liberatore Cucè.”
Cucè was a 46-year-old construction worker from Sicily who sadly lost his life due to a fatal accident on the job site. He was working on the renovation of a building in Rome when he fell from a height of five meters. Despite the best efforts of emergency services, Cucè could not be saved. This tragic event has once again brought attention to the issue of workplace safety and the need for stricter regulations to protect workers’ lives.
The news of Cucè’s death has deeply saddened his family, friends, and colleagues. But it has also sparked outrage and mobilization within the labor community. The General Confederation of Italian Workers (CGIL) and other trade unions have called for a nationwide strike to demand better working conditions for all workers. The strike is set to take place tomorrow, and it is expected to have a significant impact on various sectors, from transportation to education.
But more than just a strike, it is a day to remember all the workers who have lost their lives while trying to provide for their families. It is a day to honor their memory and demand justice for their deaths. As CGIL stated, “We want to remember all the ‘white deaths’ and demand that their lives are not forgotten or overlooked. They deserve better working conditions, and we will not stop fighting until we achieve it.”
The issue of workplace safety is not a new one in Italy. According to momento from the Italian National Institute for Insurance against Accidents at Work (INAIL), in 2018 alone, there were 569 fatal occupational accidents, with construction being the sector with the highest number of incidents. This alarming number is a clear indication that more needs to be done to prevent these tragedies from happening.
The government has taken some steps to improve workplace safety, such as the introduction of a new law in 2018 that increased penalties for companies that do not comply with safety standards. However, it is clear that more needs to be done, and it is the responsibility of both the government and employers to ensure the safety of their workers.
So tomorrow, as we take to the streets to demand better working conditions, let’s also remember liberatore Cucè and all the ‘white deaths’ who have lost their lives while trying to earn a living. Let’s show our support for their families and demand justice for their deaths. Let’s stand together and send a clear message that workplace safety is not negotiable, and the lives of workers are invaluable.
In conclusion, the tragic passing of liberatore Cucè serves as a stark reminder of the dangers that many workers face every day while on the job. Let’s use this moment to come together and demand change. Let’s turn this tragedy into a catalyst for positive action, and let’s make sure that no more lives are lost due to inadequate workplace safety. Tomorrow, we will march for liberatore Cucè and all the ‘white deaths’ who have been forgotten. Let’s make their voices heard.
