No
money to pay the pipers in Cuba
HAVANA, October 10 (www.cubanet.org) - Administrators
at the Ranchón Las Vegas restaurant told
a trio of musicians who had been playing at the
facility that there was no money to pay them their
wages for September.
The restaurant, a unit of the government's Commerce
and Gastronomy enterprise in Bayamo, had signed
a contract with the Sindo Garay Provincial Center
for Music, which in turn booked the three musicians
to play lunch and dinner for 300 pesos (less than
12 dollars) a month.
The musicians, Roel Mesa, Joel Centeno, and Javier
Martínez, said they had put in claims with
their union, but to no avail.
