Alberto Franchi, marble entrepreneur, with his shocking outburst in the report broadcast according to which those who work in the quarry and get hurt are deficient, has generated such indignation among the workers, the unions and politicians that words were of little use in an apology letter. No misunderstanding for those who, especially in the Apuan Alps, have lost a father or son in a quarry. So tomorrow morning at 9am the strike and a demonstration will start right in front of Franchi Umberto Marmi which will end in front of the Industrialists’ Association. The sentence “Here if they get hurt it’s because they are morons, the accidents that have occurred in the last ten years, I’m sorry to say, but unfortunately it’s the worker’s fault”, doesn’t go down well. “These are arrogant words from those who feel they are masters of the mountains” says the regional councilor for the environment Monia Monni. She is close to the workers who intend to promote the strike in the Apuo Versiliese district tomorrow. Criticism also from the regional councilor for labor Alessandra Nardini “Franchi has a turnover of 76 million a year, these are figures that have gone to his head, leading him to perceive his role as that of an arrogant boss”.
