Cuban ministry owes workers back pay since
August
HAVANA, Cuba, April 27 (María López,
Lux Info Press / www.cubanet.org) - The
Ministry of Construction owes back pay to
workers who rebuilt and refurbished schools
in Havana July and August last year and
officials claim they have no budget to settle.
The pay is attributable to overtime and
incentives promised the workers to finish
the work on time for the start of the school
year.
Workers Sindo Medina and Luis Medina recently
claimed their money and were fired instead.
"This week," said Gonzalo Mempet,
an independent labor activist, "the
two laborers were fired, accused of calling
administrators "thieves and liars."
The two were fired from the No. 15 Housing
Construction Unit, in Alamar, east Havana,
and haven't been paid their salary.
