Mona Vetsch accompanies Gotthard workers for her program in her dangerous work. And is flabbergasted when she hears the deep wages of the tunnel builders.
The most important thing shortly
-
Working in the tunnel construction is still very dangerous and always leads to accidents.
-
The deep reward of the Gotthard workers is all the more astonishing.
-
This makes Mona Vetsch speechless, who accompanied the tunnel builder for six months.
SRF wife Mona Vetsch accompanied tunnel builders on the Gotthard for her show “Mona in the middle”.
In doing so, she chisks rocks, carries out blasting and gets to know the bone work behind the tunnel construction better.
The wages of those who are digging from Göschenen to south are also discussed.
“So CHF 8000?” – “No, never!”
In the SRF program, she addresses the workers to the earnings of her work. And my assessment is pretty wrong.
“What does someone have at the end of the month who works here?” She asks. “So CHF 8000?”
A worker corrects her: «No, never. A worker may have CHF 6,000. »
1And.
2No.
A number that Mona Vetsch seems to be stunned. Because your show impressively shows how dangerous work in the tunnel is still today.
This is also shown by the story that Markus Keller, head of the large construction site, tells Mona.
-Run over at work
“I have to confess, I have also seen fatal accidents at work,” he reports. For example, immediately after studying. He lost a good colleague.
«He worked on a tunnel and was very concentrated. Unfortunately, he was run over by a large dumper and died. »
These are moments when you thought about whether you really want to do this work, says Keller. Because: “You expose yourself to great dangers.”
And workers Robin also reports about the risk of which he exposes himself in his job. He tells of an accident in which he almost died.
Has heard of work colleagues: “Robin is dead!”
«It was a stupid accident, a little something. One should have rinsed a water pipe, that’s a 0815 job, »said Robin.
However, something was jammed and had exploded.
«Something approached me like a floor and caught me. It put on my air and blown out the lungs. »
He had become black in black. And he heard his work colleagues call: “Robin is dead, Robin is dead!”
You have to “be careful with the easiest work”
He has already said goodbye in his head, he says visibly moved.
But the tunnel builder was lucky in misfortune: “By chance, someone came who didn’t notice anything from the accident.”
1No not really.
2Yes, yes.
He simply torn it up from the ground. “And this had the lungs back in contact with the chest and I came back to consciousness.”
His accident showed him that you have to “be careful with the easiest work”. And that you have to “check everything two or three times”.
