“Unacceptable bulletin” –

A thousand coffins in Piazza del Popolo in Rome. It is the flash mob organized by Uil to draw public attention to the tragedy of deaths at work. Over a thousand (1041) as many as there are victims in the workplace every year, occupied the historic square of the capital «to remember – explains the Uil – those who, at the end of the day, never returned to their homes and to their loved ones, so as not to resign themselves to the absurd idea that these are inevitable deaths, to urge politics and the Government to implement all the measures necessary to strengthen prevention, to invest in safety, to rightly sanction transgressors”.

To commemorate those parents, fathers and mothers, but also those daughters and sons, who fell at work, the general secretary of Uil, PierPaolo Bombardieri, read some names of the people whose lives were shattered by failure to comply with safety rules. «It is an unacceptable war bulletin – stated the Uil leader – We want to draw everyone’s consciences to a drama that affects many families; we need to raise awareness, not to forget, to force politics and the government to do things immediately.” «The attempt is to draw everyone’s attention, the mass media’s attention to often forgotten human lives, we would like to draw everyone’s attention to the lives lost, lives of people who went to work, of those who tried to bring their salary home to support a family. We deliberately did it on Father’s Day: there are many fathers and mothers who didn’t return home because they went to work. We must consider the loss of even one human life unacceptable. We cannot waste time in discussions, in propaganda: we must do concrete things immediately. We must eradicate this tragedy.” «Let’s try to remind everyone of the value of human life: no profit can justify the loss of a human life: we must say it loudly, money – he concluded – is not worth human life and we must respect the dignity of work. and everyone should think of these images thinking that 1,040 people did not return home.”
