Typically, when there is more activity and, therefore, more people working, the chances of workplace accidents increase. Consequently, it is necessary to strengthen prevention measures, as is the case with fires: prevention—implementing the necessary initiatives—is better than cure.

Apolitical, aggressive and unapologetic. This is how Patronal Catalana defines itself, the new business entity presented this Thursday and which has set itself the objective of reaching 90,000 members. This would allow it to be considered a representative entity and, as such, to be a social agent that can, for example, participate in collective bargaining.

"Enough is enough, let's focus on recovery". It is the slogan that more than 300 business entities have chosen this Thursday to repeat in chorus their rejection of the riots of recent weeks. In a joint event held at the Estació del Nord, employers, unions and representatives of different sectors of the Catalan economy have read a manifesto to make an even more explicit condemnation of the looting and violence that occurred during the protests against the imprisonment of rapper Pablo Hasel.
