Bracciante dies in a greenhouse in Pachino, the Flai Cgil: Extend heat protection to those who work in those structures

A 61-year-old Algerian agricultural worker died from a heart attack while working in a tomato greenhouse in Pachino, Sicily. The union Flai Cgil highlighted the delay in emergency services, noting that an ambulance was sent from Sortino, approximately one hour away by car. The regional ordinance against extreme heat does not address greenhouses, where temperatures can exceed 50 degrees Celsius due to trapped air and sunlight. The union calls for extending protections to workers in such environments, including halting work during peak heat hours and improving ambulance services. Local politician Franco Mari supports the call, urging immediate action against unsafe working conditions and criticizing the government for neglecting labor protections.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the issue as a systemic failure in labor protection, emphasizing the need for urgent government intervention.
