Cannery closed; 100 workers idled

HAVANA, November 13 (José Izquierdo, Grupo Decoro / www.cubanet.org) - The government closed one of the largest industrial employers in Havana province, the "La Güinera" cannery, due to the undependable supply of raw materials by the Ministry of Agriculture, said someone close to the local government.

The factory’s equipment is already on its way out, and the building is earmarked for use by the municipal power company.

The approximately 100 employees will be presumably reassigned by the Ministry of Labor after 30 days of the final shutdown.

This is the fourth industrial plant the government has shut down in the Güines area in the last two years. The others were the "Amistad con los pueblos" and the "Osvaldo Sánchez" sugar mills, and the "Mayabeque" textiles operation.
