Antonio Laterza, a 46-year-old worker from Francavilla in Sinni, in the province of Potenza, did not make it, who died in the resuscitation ward of the San Carlo hospital in Potenza, where he was hospitalized since May 31 after an accident at work. That day, due to causes under investigation, the man fell while working on a construction site in Chiaromonte. Despite the attempts of doctors and hospital treatment, the worker died yesterday. ” It is an endless massacre that urges all institutional levels called, for various reasons, to monitor the safety of workers to answer for what is happening ”, commented the secretariats of Cgil, Cisl, Uil Basilicata and Fillea-Cgil, Filca-Cisl, Feneal-Uil Basilicata. ” The time has come – underline the trade unions – for safety in the workplace to become, even in Basilicata, a real institutional mission and no longer a hypocritical observation of regulatory difficulties and lack of resources ”. The worker’s family decided to donate the organs. The multi-organ sampling was carried out this morning, at the hospital in Potenza. Three Lucanian patients will receive the liver and the two kidneys. The regional transplantation coordination of Basilicata addressed ” a heartfelt thanks to the donor’s family members who made the collection possible by making a gesture of profound humanity and civic sense in a moment of pain and mourning for the disappearance of their relative ”.
