Power out at post office for the last three
months
HAVANA, Cuba, November 15 (José
Antonio Fornaris, Cuba Verdad / www.cubanet.org)
- The post office in the Altahabana subdivision
of Havana lost electrical power in the aftermath
of Hurricane Charley last August and no
one seems to know when needed repairs will
be performed.
Employees have kept some level of service
going, selling stamps and handling mail,
and, until Thursday, handling requests for
money orders and telegrams. Those they gave
up on because, one explained, they "had
to go to another station and ask that they
let us do the work, but we have been doing
it for too long and the problem here is
not getting solved."
An employee said the provincial office
has told them the repairs will not be performed
because the cost, over two thousand dollars,
is not warranted and will have to wait a
more thorough remodeling of the building.
"But they do neither one nor the other,"
said the employee.
