全てのタグを見る

These include a series of attacks on the company’s cash in transit…vehicles and the shooting death of a Chilean guard in an armed robbery…In addition to the above concerns about lax safety procedures, the recent death of a [woman] worker in Peru raises questions about Prosegur’s general regard for worker safety and well-being: On 24 August, 26-year-old Ibeth Zamalloa Angelino…fell into a coma while at work. Colleagues found her unconscious on a bathroom floor…Prosegur managers never called an ambulance, nor did they make available a vehicle to take Ms. Zamalloa to the hospital…[and she died]
