When a French sergeant major is killed during a military operation in Lebanon, as on April 18th, it's an opportunity to dust off the ceremonial trappings and organize a grand national tribute, presided over by the Minister of the Armed Forces and the Chief of Staff of the Army themselves. ---- However, when Calvin Simon, only 15 years old, dies the day before, crushed by a forklift during his "observation" internship, we shouldn't expect such a tribute. The same goes for another teenager, crushed this time by a pallet in a furniture store in June in Saint-Lô. Or for four other young people between April and July of last year.

Often interns or apprentices, with little training, precarious employment, and less inclined to refuse a task, young people constitute a vulnerable population that must be protected all the more in the workplace. But in our capitalist society, the protection of individuals often takes a back seat to the pressures of industry to increase productivity. Their deaths are not accidental: they have structural causes.

The Ministers of Labor and Education have announced the launch of an express mission to "strengthen the safety conditions" of work placements for students in their final two years of secondary school. May we offer another suggestion? Eliminate these placements which, in addition to being useless and contributing to social reproduction, are clearly deadly.
