Cuba tourism workers complain about political
training
CIEGO DE ÁVILA, August (Kallan
Poe / www.cubanet.org) - All those employed
in the tourism sector in Ciego de Ávila
province will now have to take 30-day training
courses which workers complain are mostly
political.
Any that don't complete the courses successfully
can be declared "not suited" for
their work and fired.
The courses are given at the Formatur school
of hotel management, in neighboring Morón.
Among the classes included in the training,
workers have to take a survey of Cuban culture,
and another called Language analysis of
the round tables, the nightly political
programs on government TV.
"The reason they are complaining is
obvious," said a tourism official.
"For four weeks the workers are not
going to be getting their tips, which are
not that great to start with in the everything-included-plan
hotels in Cayo Coco and Cayo Guillermo."
