(ANSA) - ROME, MAY 2 - Two more workers died in accidents in
Italy Thursday as a spate of workplace accidents that has
brought condemnation from President Sergio Mattarella and trade
unions continued.
In the first incident, a 57-year-old worker fell from the third
floor of a building around which a construction site was being
set up in the Naples area.
In the second one, again near Naples, a 60-year-old worker died
at a building site at Casalnuovo.
Workplace accident insurance agency INAIL said Wednesday that
191 workers had lost their lives in accidents this year, 2.6%
down on last.
With the latest deaths, that toll is now 193.
President Mattarella said in a May Day speech that every such
death was unacceptable, while unions called for urgent action to
stem the fatal tide. (ANSA).
