A German-owned steel company in Italy had an accident around December of last year. The accident, caused by a fire, killed 7 employees and the Italians were angered by the lack of safety in the said company. Since then, working conditions in Italy are being criticized by the citizens. A lot of rallies had been organized after the December tragedy and major risk groups in Italy have questioned the German-owned company’s accountability to the said incident. The management of the steel plant has been continuously denying the connection of the fire with the working conditions of the workers in the plant.
