Michele and Claudio will not vote on 13 April

Michele Truocchio and Claudio Ingoglia will not vote on 13 April
No TV News bulletin has included this in its opening headlines. And yet they should have done. They died for us as well. They died at work.
Michele, 44 years old, in Sant’Agata dei Goti in the province of Benevento, Claudio, 22 years old, in Campobello di Mazara near Trapani, both on 16 February.
On this site, each day, I am publishing the names of those who have died at work.
Every day someone dies and almost every time it’s a matter of an avoidable death.
Whoever dies leaves behind families that receive a cheque, if they receive it and then they are forgotten. At the centre of the election debate this national disgrace must find the maximum space. Deaths at work are not fatalities.

In the first position, Italia dei Valori has placed the topic of WORK in its election proposals with these three points:

- Improve law 30 (maximum percentage of precarious workers present in a company to be 10%, reduction of the tax burden for the companies and for the employees on fixed term contracts.)
- Definition of facilities to get young people started in the world of work
- Increase in the harshness of penalties for the owners of companies who do not guarantee the safety of workers with the closure of the company in the most serious cases.
