Workplace Accidents Rise as Flexibility Undermines Worker Safety

“Work-related accidents are no longer surprising; they have become the norm. There is a continuous, horrifying increase amidst the indifference of many. It’s true, occasionally there is the ceremonial conference of confederal unions, perhaps an hour of strike at the last shift on Friday, of which no one even dares to communicate participation.”

Adroitness allows the employer to pay for the broken life of the worker with the money gained from exploiting their colleagues. The worker becomes increasingly isolated in the face of the constant risk of the job.

Now, any company can become a danger to the health of those who should find a means for a decent life through work. Factories and businesses that were previously free from accidents are involved in a hellish cycle of increased productivity, or rather, flexibility.

Impact of Flexibility and Regulations

It’s a pleasant term, but it indicates profit above human dignity. The rhythms continually increase; it’s difficult to observe precautions and regulations to avoid losing productivity bonuses or, in the case of fixed-term contracts (now 95%), losing one’s job.

Unions are outraged, they indignantly tear their garments, and then they adapt. Flexibility reigns with the concertation between employer and union, and human dignity dies.
