“It’s a tragedy within a tragedy: Antonio would have retired next September.” The secretary of the Filca Cisl of Naples, Massimo Sannino, is visibly moved as he tells us who he was Antonio Russo, The 63-year-old worker died today in Naples in an accident that occurred on the subway construction site in Capodichino. «He had been a member of the CISL construction category for decades. He was a very expert worker, who worked in very large companies and who was respected by everyone. Everyone speaks well of him and he was also a point of reference for us in the union.”
«Antonio – continues Sannino – was well liked by all his colleagues. He had been talking to us for some time about the party he wanted to organize in September, when he would retire next September. He was widowed several years ago, and was very close to his children, about whom he always spoke to his colleagues.”
The other two workers injured in the accident, one of them with a red code, are also injured members of the same union. «We are very worried for them too – says Sannino – because we know that the situation in the hospital is critical, at least for one. We hope that there is maximum clarity on what happened. We cannot mourn a victim at work almost every day, many of whom are in the construction sector.”
