Cuban workers resent unkept promises

RANCHUELO, Cuba, March 11 (Félix Reyes Gutiérrez, Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org) - Workers at the Ramiro Lavendero cigarette factory here say they are very unhappy the government has not kept to its commitments when it recently distributed just part of a suite of working clothes.

For four years, workers say, the administration has been promising the clothes and finally last week distributed a pair of shoes to each worker.

Many say they sold the shoes, as they were not the right size.

"For four years we have been wearing our clothes out in this factory that historically shows good returns. Now they try to keep us happy with these ugly shoes," said one worker.
