1 dead every 100 days in rail maintenance last 5 yrs -CGIL

(ANSA) - ROME, SEP 5 - One rail maintenance worker has died every 100 days in the last five years in Italy, trade union CGIL said Tuesday.
    There has been a serious accident every 50 days in that period, it added.
    "These numbers describe a structural criticality of he rail maintenance sector, which in our view requires urgent intervention," CGIL told the House labour and transport committees.
    The union, Italy's biggest and most leftwing, was testifying on last week's accident that killed five workers at Brandizzo near Turin. (ANSA).
