CIEGO DE ÁVILA, August 23 (José Manuel Caraballo, APLA /
www.cubanet.org) - A number of graduates of the Hotel and Tourism School in Morón,
Ciego de Ávila province, complain that they work in hotels operated by
the Spanish conglomerate Sol Meliá without salary, and that they are
forced to kick back some of what they make in tips.
"We are a sort of slave of the year 2002. We live on tips, but they
make us hand some of those back, as if it were a tax for letting us work in
these facilities," said one school graduate who works as a bartender in the
Meliá Cayo Coco, near here.
The company operates four hotels in the keys just north of the Cuban coast
here: the Meliá Cayo Coco, the Sol Club Cayo Guillermo, the Tryp Club
Cayo Coco, and the Meliá Cayo Guillermo. It operates other hotels in
Cuba, all in partnership with the Cuban government.
