Dead workers cemetery

A new cemetery is visible in Angers. A cemetery where apparently nobody paid a visit on that November 1st, day of the deads in France. All the names, ages and seniorities of persons in connection with that place are indicated on the "orbituaries" along the fences of the "graveyard". And the only "flowers" that embellish the site are yellow limetrees leaves brought there by the wind. The cemetery is not an ordinary one. Here are the grave of an existence who ended on October 22nd from "a long disease".

Along the iron fences of Techni-color, twelve panels have been set up. They have the silhouettes of signs visible along the French roads which represent the victims of car accidents. On each of those, victims of the economic crash of Technicolor have  affixed letters. As employees of the Angers decoders manufacture (the last Technicolor had in Europe), they have been informed they were laid off. Christiane, Dominique or Jean are still alive but their hopes to find a new job after the years of seniority in Technicolor are badly ill, or even  spelled to death: 15 years for one, 36 for another and 39 years for a third.

These figures they wrote on the letters are a kind of epitaph and could mean : "I worked here, faithfully, loyally, for almost forty years and that is the epilogue for me. Please, think of me". Within a few days, Angers authorities will pay tribute to the soldiers died between 1914 and 1918 (even if the last survivor has disappeared a few years ago). The Technicolor fences with all the names of the economic victims recall the monuments of the war France (and England) won, bloodless, more than 90 years ago. Contemporaries of the present economic disaster could think about the ways to avoid such casualties.
