“We are fed up with seeing how meaningless discussions continue for a long time with the sole purpose of delaying the taking of measures. The miserable indifference of those who have decision-making power it costs or destroys the lives of workers and that is inadmissible. The purpose of our union organization is to care for the life, health and integrity of workers and their families. It is unbearable and painful to see how Despite the complaints we make to the responsible bodies, they fall on empty sacks”They expressed from the union.
