(ANSA) - ROME, FEB 16 - The Secretary General of the CISL,
Italy's second biggest trade union, Luigi Sbarra, said after a
deadly accident on a building site in Florence that is feared to
have killed at least six workers Friday that "the massacre must
end", referring to a spate of fatal workplace accidents in Italy
which has continued despite several governments' efforts to stem
it.
"The tragedy at the Florence construction site is a chilling
event," he said.
"We are close to the families of the victims and the injured.
"But condolences and solidarity are not enough.
"The massacre must end.
"While waiting for the judiciary to shed light on the dynamics
and responsibilities, one thing is certain: safety in the
workplace and safeguarding the lives of workers must be placed
at the top of the country's priorities," Sbarra added. (ANSA).
