Since then, the union has been back to work four days a week, mowing the lawn and maintaining the grounds to prepare for the burial of the 498 corpses that were in refrigeration during the entire workers’ strike. Of these, about 150 bodies are destined for mausoleums, while the remaining 347 will be buried in the ground. The entire job will take several months, but 59 bodies that can only be buried during the warm season have been given priority. (Translated by Elyse Amend)
