PLF Message of Condolences to the People of Italy

The Pakistan Labour Federation (PLF)  expresses its condolences to the families of those who lost their lives in the aftershock on the 29th of May 2012 in Italy.
Earthquakes in Italy have caused a series of deaths and damages over the last years, this, however, has not yet forced the governments in implementing solid protective measures.
The latest earthquake has caused the lives to 17 people, more than 200 are injured and 8.000 people until now have lost their lives and their livelihoods.
We are especially wrathful for the deaths of the workers who were forced by the employers to return to work in an unsafe environment of working conditions.
Concrete earthquake and flooding protective measures must be a stable demand of the trade union organizations around the world.
The capitalist way of development and building puts our lives daily at risk.
