Lesaka's 56-year-old carrier dies in an accident at work

  • The 56-year-old carrier, a neighbour of Lesaka, died yesterday in Irun while carrying a truck on which he was travelling. He was an employee of the company Transportes Etxetrans who worked in the area. So far this year 11 carriers have died working, many of them, like the latter, for a heart attack, according to the LAB trade union in a statement. With yesterday's, at least 54 occupational deaths have been recorded in the Basque Country since the beginning of the year.

The transport sector is one of the most affected by occupational accidents. Last year 10 hauliers died in an occupational accident, and that figure has already been exceeded this year.

LAB denounces that working conditions in the transport sector are very precarious, long working hours, stress, pressure, low price they pay for transport, difficulties in feeding in a healthy way due to working conditions, the impact of age, etc. That is why, according to the Abertzale syndicate, most of the accidents at work that occur in the transport sector can be completely avoided, and for this we only need political will.
