Answers from the competent authorities after the new industrial accident, this time in Argos, the SYRIZA MP – PS Argolidas and head of the Labor department of the party requests George Gavrilos.
“Another worker lost his life today, this time working on scaffolding in Argos. Although the circumstances are being investigated by ELAS, we immediately expect the Services of the Ministry of Labor to carry out a full check on whether the appropriate protection measures were observed and to immediately issue the relevant conclusion, so that the family of the deceased can find justice. This tragic workplace accident comes on top of an alarming increase in worker deaths in recent years. The Government turns a deaf ear and acts as if such news should constitute a normality that we should get used to. The intensification of work, the absence of controls, the weakening of SEPE, the legalization of unpaid work and the abolition of the 8-hour working day by the ND, with the parallel flexibility of working hours, have structured an anarchic landscape at work, leading to tired or unskilled workers , who are forced to work double shifts, while being asked to operate dangerous machinery or climb scaffolding several meters high. Because the life of every employee cannot hang by a thread. Because this Government has completely deregulated Labour, has abolished the rights of years and has given freedom to unpaid employers to exploit workers for a day’s wages, SYRIZA-PS calls for the intensification of controls for the safety and health of workers and for the adherence to timetables. It asks the Government to restore the operation of the SEPE, to staff the Inspection Services and to take back its anti-work, pain-free and exterminating Laws for the worker”, he said.
