Hardeep Kaurgeneral secretary Flai Cgil Frosinone Latina: “I was contacted by a worker who sent me a photo of a severed limb, explaining that it was an accident that occurred to a workmate, who in desperate conditions was dumped on the street from a 9-seater minibus. It’s not a horror movie, unfortunately it’s all true! Here we are not only faced with a serious accident at work, which is already alarming and avoidable in itself, here we are faced with the barbarity of exploitation, which tramples on people’s lives, dignity, health and every rule of civilization. We will monitor these fields, these roads, these villages and districts every day and for the next few weeks there will be many of us, because we cannot work in these conditions”.
