CUBA
Restaurant workers' salaries docked
HAVANA, Cuba, August 19 (Víctor
Manuel Domínguez, Lux Info Press
/ www.cubanet.org) - The employees of the
La Cocinita restaurant in Santiago de Cuba
say their salaries have been reduced by
10% because the restaurant doesn't meet
its revenue quotas and call the measure
unfair, since they say it is beyond their
power to address the shortcomings.
While they address their complaint, so
far unsuccessfully, to local government
officials and to the government-led union,
workers say they haven't received their
full 110-peso (about 4 dollars) monthly
salary for the last four months.
The workers' complaint says restaurant
administrators set revenue goals for the
establishment, and tied their salaries to
performance. However, the complaint says
the administrators acknowledge they can't
supply enough gas to cook the food or even
sufficient food to meet the plan's goals.
