« As USB we have decided to form a civil party» . Thus the grassroots union this morning in front of the Cagliari court at the opening of the trial for the death of Ignazio Sessini, a worker who died crushed by a garbage disposal during the night time in July 2021 in the Villaservice company in Villacidro.
«In the case of the death of Ignazio Sessini, according to the Public Prosecutor's Office of Cagliari it would be “aggravated manslaughter” since Ignazio “was at work without adequate safety devices”», explains Enrico Rubiu of USB, recalling that at the moment they are six are the suspects.
«We as a union have decided to be able to form a civil party because we want to understand the reason why Ignazio was crushed by a garbage disposal and to be able to continue our fight and commitment to ensure that these deaths do not happen again on workers' posts . He cannot be present today, but we are here to remember him and to remember all the other deaths at work, to ask for less exploitation, to ask for more safety in the workplace."
But above all the request is for «a law that contemplates the crime of industrial homicide. Ignazio died at work, he is one of the many, too many, who die at work, above all, due to the lack of safety measures that companies, to fatten their profits, let "their" workers die killed at work as the murder of the Indian agricultural worker Satnam Singh, an event brutal in its dynamics but which gave rise to horrible, inhuman behavior, which should be unthinkable for anyone, an event that should be punished for what is a murder at work" .
