Since UGT mourn the death of 20 year old in a work of Cartagena has happened this morning and we sympathize with his family and colleagues.
Since the union have made available our technical and legal services.
Since UGT want to express, in this moment of pain and waiting for the results of the investigation, that a large number of accidents in our region are a reflection of the dire working conditions suffer daily workers in their companies .
Workplace accidents are more common among workers in precarious jobs.
We want to remind the various agencies with responsibilities in this area that "all accidents are preventable."
On the other hand, if it is true, as we have been informed that the accident rates have declined over the past year, we want to point out that, in our opinion the absence of a more comprehensive analysis of data collected by UGT this morning There is a strong relationship between the lowering of these levels and reduced business activity and the upwelling experienced by the economy.
Reflecting this situation being the years 2005, 2006 or 2007, years with high accident rate, the result of our understanding of piecework, the chain of subcontracting, the lack of information, appropriate training and qualifications of workers to their jobs work.
