Courier killed in Piacenza during a delivery on the last day of his contract: colleagues were on strike for heavy shifts

Pietro Andriotta, a 42-year-old courier working under contract with Brt through an outsourcing firm, died during a delivery in Piacenza on the last day of his contract. According to colleagues, he was worried about the contract not being renewed. The Filt-Cgil union highlighted that workers at the Brt subcontracting site in Piacenza-Caorso were on strike today after declaring a state of agitation on Friday. The strike was due to increasing workloads, staff shortages, heavy shifts, and an organizational structure deemed unsustainable. In a statement released later in the evening, Brt confirmed it is fully cooperating with authorities and providing any necessary information, while expressing deep condolences for Andriotta’s death. Brt emphasized that safety and well-being are priorities but stated it cannot release further details at this time to respect the family and allow for a swift investigation.

Why objectivity (85): The article presents the facts in a relatively neutral manner, citing statements from both the union and the company.
