Engineer in Cuba threatened for not participating
in political activities
HAVANA, cuba, June 2 (Víctor Manuel
Domínguez, Lux Info Press / www.cubanet.org)
- Administrators of Biofábrica Granma,
a government-run plant propagation concern
in Bayamo, threatened an engineer with the
loss of his job for not participating in
political activities.
The engineer, Alexis Ramírez, says
the activities have nothing to do with his
job and are beyond the scope of his employment
at the plant.
Ramírez, a cloning specialist, refuses
to belong to the plant's union, to pay the
voluntary dues to the territorial defense
militia, and to participate in the periodic
mobilizations of personnel in support of
the government.
Ramírez was called in to the plant's
administrative offices and, in the presence
of the plant director, the secretary of
the plant's cell of the Communist Party,
and the secretary of the union local, was
told to either accept the rules of the game
or his services will be deemed unnecessary.
When Ramírez continued to refuse,
the officials decided to give him a week
to think it over, before his dismissal becomes
permanent and the reasons for the same become
a part of his labor dossier.
Ramírez is 30, married with two
children.
