Cuban-Spanish joint venture makes employees stand guard duty

VILLA CLARA, July 5 (Edel José García, CNP) - The joint Cuban-Spanish company managing the Havana aqueduct makes its employees stand guard duty after working hours and kick back between 5 and 10 pesos of their salary toward cleaning the offices where they work.

The company recently cancelled the contract it had with a security company for a night watchman and makes its employees provide the service if they want to keep their jobs. The representative of the Cuban government to the company, Dalia Cairo, laid down the rules for employees' guard duty: married women must bring their husbands, and single women take care of the building during weekends.

The offices are at No. 7 Esperanza Street, in Old Havana, a building that had been declared "uninhabitable" by the local Housing Authority.
