#WORLD #WORLDWIDE #SPAIN #ANARCHISM #News #Journal #Update - (en) #Spain, cgt-lkn: Unjustifiable and unacceptable deaths (ca, de, it, pt, tr)[machine translation]

 According to data from the Ministry of Labor related to statistics on work

accidents for the first half of 2022, between January and June there have been
310,211 work accidents, compared to 262,355 that took place during the first half
of last year. In these accidents, 394 people lost their lives while working, a
figure that represents an increase of 18% compared to 2021. ---- Deaths in the
pit of workers continue to be worrying, shameful and a direct consequence of the
working conditions at those facing the working class in today's job market. Those
who have to earn a living do so in precarious conditions and in environments
where rights and freedoms, which cost us so much to achieve, suffer setbacks and
cutbacks by gigantic steps.

The Labor Reforms and the "reforms" of the Labor Reforms of those who finally
stormed the skies, far from alleviating the consequences of these circumstances,
have come to consolidate the conditions that force thousands of workers to
survive precariously and condemning them in many cases to almost certain death.
And that is why it is not strange that the deaths of working people, even if they
can be avoided, are so abundant, as reflected in the data of the statistics of
the Government itself
Spanish.

These deaths are not justifiable and inadmissible, precisely because we cannot
speak of "deaths" without further ado. Because thousands of working class people
are being pushed to survive in extreme conditions, and in many cases fear and
uncertainty force those who have no choice but to accept any type of work above
their safety and health labor. Living in fear and without knowing what will
happen to your life and that of those who depend on you is also a form of
violence that inevitably leads to emotional situations where the rules of the
game imposed by employers, businessmen, banks and the bourgeoisie sitting in
democratic parliaments.

On the other hand, the news about the death of people while working does not
delve into the circumstances in which they lose their lives. The media, in the
exercise of their informative work, expose deaths as events derived from
accidents without further ado, ignoring the entire violent system that supports
the current labor market where the social majority risks life and health for an
opportunity to better future.

 From CGT we continue to maintain that labor rights are achievements that were
achieved through the struggle of workers. The deaths of working people while
earning a living cannot continue to be the only
response to communications and specific minutes of rejection. It is time to
organize a forceful response that forces the political class to implement
effective measures against this social scourge without further delay.
