La ICM hoy lanza un informe que revela graves violaciones de los derechos de los trabajadores en los sitios de construcción de los estadios para la Copa del Mundo Rusia 2018.
“Twenty-one construction workers died on stadium building sites during the preparations for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia. Most of these tragic deaths were because of falls from heights or because of heavy equipment falling on workers. These were tragedies that could have been averted if safety and health conditions were strictly enforced,” says Ambet Yuson, General Secretary of the Building and Wood Workers’ International (BWI).
Los abusos incluyen condiciones de trabajo peligrosas, la obligación de trabajar afuera en un clima extremadamente frío y salarios inferiores al estándar del salario mínimo.
Health and safety experts from BWI affiliates from Finland and Sweden, "Veintiún trabajadores de la construcción murieron en la construcción de estadios durante los preparativos para la Copa del Mundo Rusia 2018 de la FIFA. La mayoría de estas muertes trágicas se debieron a caídas desde alturas o debido a equipos pesados que caen sobre los trabajadores.
“FIFA has clearly failed to show any serious commitment to use its leverage to ensure compliance with international labour standards during the stadium renovation and construction for the 2018 FIFA World Cup Russia,” he added. “For that reason, the BWI continues to call on FIFA to take action and adopt measures in its bidding documents and technical specifications to ensure decent work conditions at World Cup stadiums and related infrastructure,” says Ambet Yuson.
