HAVANA, August 20 (Alicia Zamora Labrada, Lux Info Press / www.cubanet.org)
- In spite of a scarcity of instructors, officials at the Technological
Construction Institute in Consolación del Sur, Pinar del Río
province, fired Reinaldo Rodríguez Camejo after two years of teaching for
his dissident activities.
Rodríguez had been teaching electricity and is also a labor activist
affiliated with independent labor organizations.
Previously, Rodríguez had taught at the Institute until 1991, when he
had been fired for attempting to leave the country. In 1999, Institute officials
called him back to reorganize the electricity laboratories, and hired him under
renewable six-month contracts.
On June 27, Rodríguez was arrested by political police officer
Enrique Morejón, who told him, said Rodríguez, that he would soon
lose his job. At the end of July, Institute officials told Rodríguez his
contract would expire and would not be renewed. They added that his case is
different, and that there will never be a steady job for him.
