«Many times – continued Prefect Greco – the problem is lack of training or information. There will be different trajectories that we will follow to improve the situation. We are going to modify an agreement signed in 2020, which is now a bit dated. There will be an operational table made up of representatives of the employers’ side, trade unions, the labor inspectorate and other bodies, who will propose changes to that 2020 protocol. Then there will be a new meeting, all this by June, in which we will define all the changes with the aim of improving the conditions of the places where the work takes place”.
The Public Prosecutor’s Office of Urbino, after the accident that occurred at the Fab, opened a case: the crime is suspected of being manslaughter. Last Wednesday, a trade union rally was held to ask for safety in the workplace and the opening of a table in the prefecture, which then led to a prompt response from the prefect.
