The Information Bridge Cuba

(GUANTÁNAMO/CUBA/June7/Puenteinfocubamiami.org) – Workers of the sugar mill known as "Costa Rica", in the municipality of El Salvador, Province of Guantánamo, stopped production after finding out that this huge sugar mill will be demolished, and went home in protest for the imminent loss of work.

Quick Response Brigades of the Interior Ministry went to the sugar mill to try to disperse the tumultuous protest. The Department of State Security is looking for the leader of this brave act, uncommon since the triumph of the dictatorship of Fidel Castro, who abolished workers' strikes and labeled them them counter-revolutionary.

The workers stated that they acted under mutual agreement, so that they would all be responsible.

According to the source, the militant communist Remigio Limonta, a resident of this town, was speaking of this incident in the cafeteria and said he had never seen the sugar mill workers so angry.

From Guantánamo, Ferdinando Castro de Lardiller, National Delegate of the Democratic Party November 30 "Frank País" and COOCE Coordinator. Given to The Information Bridge Cuba Miami on June 6th, 2002.
