The black number of accidents at work in Navarre this year consists of 26 workers, more than twice the 12 registered last year. Thanks to the search made in the last week by the LAB union, five cases that were hidden have come to light. “Knowing the data of fatal accidents is not easy,” said the occupational health officer of the union LAB, “In Navarra, unlike the CAPV, there are no official communications of accidents and death accidents, so we use our affiliate network to contrast them with the data of the NOPLOI”. That is why the Abertzale trade union sent a direct message to the Government of Navarre, where it asked them to support them. Iriarte has asked that “when there are deaths, when there are deaths per job, there is an official and transparent communication”, “if we want to raise awareness about the issue we cannot cover the data”.

The 26 deaths in this 2024.urte have unleashed a red alarm in the city center, according to the LAB syndicate. “In this situation we find it justified to activate the red alert and activate the Navarro Council of Occupational Health, to convene and take all necessary measures,” said the head of Navarre, Imanol Karrera, “if the government does not, there will be more deaths of Navarre workers who could be prevented”. In addition, the Abertzale syndicate has reflected on the serious work accidents, “If the current tasks are becoming safer, if the services are above… how is it possible that the deaths increase?”
