The fatal occupational accident took place at about 15:00 hours in the Arrosadia area. The 52-year-old and natural operator of the company Mariezcurrena was working on the repair of a street commissioned by the city. The Municipal Police has taken over the investigation of what happened. The deceased person in Leioa was a worker of the company CAR Bizkaia, according to ELA, was about 50 years old and has died in a non-traumatic manner.

Last Monday, the LAB trade union reported that last week a third worker, 59, who worked at the Ingemat company died. He also died of non-traumatic death. With the two workers of yesterday, at the moment there are 19 workers killed at work in the Basque Country.

“You can’t talk about bad luck”

LAB has stressed that non-traumatic deaths should be considered as occupational accidents because “stress, working conditions and pressure are fundamental factors in cardiovascular accidents.” ELA has called on the public to denounce the last two deaths to the mobilizations that the trade union majority convenes. In Arrosadia, neighborhood political, cultural and trade union agents have concentrated on Tuesday afternoon to report the death of the deceased worker. The callers accused precarious work accidents and deaths, “cannot be said of bad luck”, and demanded institutions to take measures to ensure working conditions and safety at work.
