| | course it was all three Democratic members Medicine. They denounced the pollution and the company fired them in the silence of the unions. With little success, newspapers have pointed out that we are all debtors, especially those who communication, against the three brave boys who informed the community of Alexandria environmental and health risks and therefore have been affected by retaliation. The first of five meticulous display, which break the curtain of silence and company confirm the alarm just launched by the Democratic medicine, is last year's February (1): Prosecutor's Office, ASL and Labour Inspectorate are alarmed because the analysis within the Solvay Spinetta Marengo (Alessandria) are worrisome. He wonders, attention: when the scandal had not yet erupted hexavalent chromium (2), to verify the actual land reclamation by the presence of chromium, precisely. In the second exposed to July 2008, Sonny Alessandrini, Daniele Ferrarazzo and Valerie Berto indicate the risk of pollution inside and outside the Solvay for the presence of asbestos in several areas of the factory. That same month, the three young men feel the judiciary on water pollution by hexavalent chromium in the chemical plant to the detriment of workers' health usufruenti food service and sanitation. September 2008 quarter exposed to ASL: Ferrarazzo Alessandrini and complain that the company does not submit to regular preventive medical examinations and on time, in particular lack the medical surveillance for exposure to asbestos and hexavalent chromium. Always in September and always ASL, Valentina denounces the lack of Installation of ventilation and extraction and removal of hazardous substances, its discharge into the sewerage system and so on. Following these incidents, inspection bodies have launched investigations, the Prosecution has opened a file. Nevertheless, the company, from manual to bullying, he proceeded to move the workers for months and months to deprive them of jobs, without regard to health, to threaten disciplinary measures for many different reasons, and lead eventually to lead to redundancies but always being careful to point out that all these efforts were not "in consequence" of complaints but only "in coincidence "with them. Our Association believes that every democrat should rise up against this attack on the contemporary right to information, the right to health and right to work. The public does not sleep (3). Democratic Medicine - Section of Alexandria Notes (1) In three dense pages of data tables and asked the workers to the judiciary and government inspection "to verify the worrying situation of Solvay. Where "we put in a position of having to barter our health and that of the inhabitants of Spinetta." Where "the company continues to pressure us and we had to turn to a lawyer and the factory, there have been precedents. " Where "we have discovered through analysis that for years we breathe carcinogens eight hours a day, slowly released into the soil, sewers and municipal air from low chimneys without dosimeters," not sufficiently aspirated substances "for which is prescribed "Use the mask during exposure, or rather the self" and even "have been banned in America." Where "most of the employees have this substance in the blood" but the company keeps saying that "no adverse effects man and not to worry. " Where, citing date and time of the episodes, "usually is not declared an emergency when incidents occur to facilities and employees leaving the dark population of Spinetta Marengo." In conclusion, confirmed the complaint detailing the allegations of the union of Medicine democratic "political and cultural subordination against company management, mirroring the same action." (3) The role of public opinion. Anticipating events, as early as August last year, Dodge wrote: "The more media prominence given to these brave workers, their complaints, the sustained reprisals (current), the lower the risk they are slaughtered by the corporate giant. We know from experience that my actions (complaints, displayed, lawsuits, demonstrations, hunger strikes, chain, signatures of solidarity, etc..) Would have lost its effectiveness and would come to the extreme (as well as suffered persecution while: layoffs, three transfers, bullying, years of professional disqualification of absolute inactivity, along with an endless stream of minor disputes and disciplinary actions attempted and, last but not least, dismissal) if it were not for the help of public opinion. Help twenty-three valuable regardless of the court hearings, seven cases in district court, four on appeal, two in point of law, all ended happily. " (2) is approaching the opening of the pollution of the Solvay process (ex-Ausimont Montedison) of Spinetta Marengo (AL). To the extent of the accusations and investigations of potential environmental and health is a historic occasion. The goal is also to demonstrate that it is not crime-poisoning of the water and no clean-constrained ceased to hexavalent chromium but which continued to environmental crimes in the current time and extended to a score of poison poured into water, soil and air. With related morbidity. In Provincial Congress have agreed on the need Medicine to present to the Democratic party in the proceedings, to be consistent with the role of the complaint and proposed that the association has always played against the chemical plant and complaints from the public prosecutor that our members have courageously submitted. Especially important is the presence of democratic Medicine as a civil party because, as demonstrated in other processes (Marghera, asbestos, Thyssen Krupp, etc..), It is often the only plaintiff who produces great deal of work and presence at the trial, that makes no compromises and retreats in the face of monetary compensation, which pursues the truth and detection of corporate and institutional responsibility during and until the end of the process. The victims, workers and residents, the chemical giant is currently hundreds of thousands over the decades. Should be compensated. Above all, the prosecution is to prevent new victims: to enforce environmental remediation and effective means of monitoring the health and the environment, primarily the Environmental Monitoring of Fraser. Even before the process starts, we launched a public appeal to the whole population, workers, former workers, residents, affected by diseases and / or pollution-related deaths of a chemical plant, so that marker for themselves or for family status, morbidity, time and manner and conditions of that order to a civil action for the recognition of the damage. |
