Today, April 28, International Day for Safety and Health at Work, the trade unions that make up the Basque trade union majority demonstrated in Bilbao and Pamplona denounce that uncertainty kills Likewise, they have held employers and government agencies responsible for accidents at work.
Under the slogan “Killer precarious. No more accidents at work!”, the trade unions ELA, LAB, ESK, Steilas, Etxalde and Hiru have denounced that some do not apply enough preventive measures and others do not have sufficient controls to guarantee safety measures.
As they have emphasized, accidents at work are a structural problem Reflecting this, despite the decline in labor activity in 2021 due to austerity and covid-19, work accidents have increased in Hego Euskal Herria: 10% in the Basque Autonomous Community and almost 17% in Navarre, according to the trade unions.
Representatives of LAB and ELA have pointed out that “the culprit is the employers, who do not prevent prevention in companies and give priority to economic interests.” The institutions, for their part, have been asked to invest more and not look the other way.
In addition, the unions have denounced that official statistics contain under-reporting of certain occupational diseases.
Although in the Basque Autonomous Community CC.OO. and UGT met separately, in Navarra the protest has been joint. Both unions have expressed concern about the increase in accidents at work in Navarra Last year 10,000 accidents were registered and ended with a balance of 13 deaths. That is why they ask the regional government to focus on prevention at work.
osala, It has, for its part, emphasized that it has an accounting system for accidents and deaths at work that is different from that of the trade unions, and that therein lies the reason for the fluctuation in the figures reported by both sides. Lourdes IscarOsalan’s general manager says they are not hiding any data and that all accidents are being investigated.
“There is no hidden accident, of course not, it was just missing. The difference is that we only talk about the accidents that occurred in the Basque Country, we investigate all the people who die in our community. But it is true that what we register registered parts,” noted.
