Naples
Tragedy in Naples, one dead and two injured in the accident that occurred in the Capodichino metro construction site, was apparently caused by a malfunction of the train that was carrying the three workers into the tunnel. A 63-year-old from Giugliano, Antonio Russo, lost his life. A 54-year-old was hospitalized under code red with a head injury, while the other injured person was a 59-year-old who suffered fractured ribs.
They were all members of Filca Cisl Napoli which speaks of workers known in the sector. Strong pain among union colleagues.
“This afternoon’s very serious accident on the Capodichino construction site of Line 1 of the Naples metro is the second to occur on the same construction site in a few months. All of this is unacceptable: we need prevention, organization of working times, daily checks especially on large construction sites and preventive training on particular works such as that of the Naples metro. This would be enough to stem the inexorable trail of deaths that is getting longer and longer in Campania. We have been saying it for some time: a legislative reform is needed immediately to identify and share responsibility for the entire supply chain on construction sites. In recent weeks we have been collecting thousands of signatures for the referendums proposed by the CGIL which focus on the dignity of work and the repeal of current laws which are wrong and insufficient”.
The general secretary of CGIL Naples and Campania, Nicola Ricci, says this in a note.
The mayor of Naples Gaetano Manfredi follows the story firsthand. On behalf of the Administration and the entire city he expresses sorrow for the
disappearance of a worker and closeness to the victims of the accident.
