We are all morons – Report

Report returns to talk about the Carrara marble quarries.
In the April 21st episode, the statements by the entrepreneur Alberto Franchi on the fact that if a worker is injured in a quarry he is deficient and that the cause of deaths at work in the last ten years is solely the fault of the workers themselves, created amazement and indignation. Throughout the province of Massa Carrara there was an immediate mobilization of trade unions, institutions and workers, who considered Franchi’s statements offensive and arrogant. Already on Tuesday they gathered in a very crowded assembly outside and inside the Carrara town hall and on Wednesday they declared a strike from work and called a well-attended demonstration. Alberto Franchi, in a note sent to the newspaper La Nazione, apologized to the marble workers and citizens considering his own words inappropriate and said he was sorry that his words were perceived as an attempt to shift the responsibility for safety onto employees. But now the tsunami, as the Quotidiano Nazionale itself defined it, has started and Carrara is in full turmoil this week, between meetings, strikes, demonstrations and the indignation of the families who have suffered deaths in the marble quarries. There was also a question, signed by 12 parliamentarians, asking the Minister of Labor to take initiatives to guarantee both safety for the operators and the containment of the pollution reported in the Report service in the Carrara quarries. And finally he urges us to intervene so that the extraction materials are finally considered the unavailable assets of the municipalities and put up for tender.
