Independent union supports unemployed sugar workers

HAVANA, Dec. 6 (Reinaldo Cosano Alen / www.cubanet.org) – The Union of Independent Workers has issued a communique criticizing the government’s decision to close 72 sugar mills.

According to the communiqué, 200,000 lost their jobs, but sources say the number could be 500,000, including those who left the mills to further their studies or training.

"The regime has tried, through its propaganda machine, to minimize this action, alleging that it is not going to have economic and social repercussions for the workers because all necessary means have been taken," said the communiqué.
