Castellaneta fire prompts calls for better worker protections

Following a fire in the countryside of Castellaneta, the Fai Cisl union has called for increased protections, job stability, and better recognition for ARIF Puglia workers involved in environmental and fire prevention efforts.

Union representative Alessandro Gesuè emphasized that these professionals serve as an indispensable safeguard for local communities during emergencies. However, the union highlighted concerns regarding job precariousness and seasonality, arguing that workers should not be forgotten once an emergency concludes.
