CUBA
Washroom attendance fired after requesting
exit permit to emigrate to the U.S.
SANTA CLARA, Cuba, March 21 (Guillermo
Fariñas, Cubanacán Press /
www.cubanet.org) - Félix Cárdenas
Pérez, a retiree working as a bathroom
attendant on Santa Clara's boulevard, lost
his job last week after applying for a permit
to emigrate.
A document signed by Rafael Gavilanes y
Ovidio Marrero, director of community services,
said Cárdenas Pérez was being
fired because he was no longer "worthy
of confidence" since he had applied
to leave for the United States.
When Cárdenas Pérez requested
a copy of the resolution denying him the
exit permit, he was told, "We're not
going to give you any document you can take
to the American embassy."
