On the death in Alcarràs of a seasonal worker harvesting fruit There is, first of all, the personal tragedy of someone who, at 61 years old, was forced into extremely hard work and was denied permission to go home when he declared he felt ill. He was only allowed to rest in the shade of a tree. Gheorghe Vranciu died there, alone. The temperature in the Alcarràs area had exceeded 40 degrees. Legally, it is not mandatory to stop work in the fields in situations of extreme heat. It is only recommended. Therefore, there is no legal liability for the employer. Another thing is the moral burden he will now bear. In any case, Vranciu's son reports that the company "took more than two hours to call the ambulance." Beyond legality, job insecurity also has to do with this apparently careless, or even negligent, treatment.
