Workers say their retirement savings are missing

HAVANA, June 13 (www.cubanet.org) - Around 30 food-industry workers in Havana processing their retirement papers found the moneys discounted from their pay do not show in the computer as having been credited to their accounts.

Predictably, the workers of the Empresa de Comercio y Gastronomía in central Havana say they feel cheated.

Juan Luis Pérez, who works for the company as a waiter, said that for years he had had 80 pesos a month discounted from his salary that were supposed to go to the local Popular Savings bank, but that the money does not show in the computer, according to William Toledo, the general secretary of an independent labor organization.

Toledo added that company administrators told Pérez that there was an error due to the irregularities of the computers, which exempted them from responsibility for the loss of the savings.

Pérez appealed to the municipal secretariat of the official union, where he was told they would consider his demands, but that the answers would have to be sought at higher levels.

It is estimated around 30 workers are similarly affected.
