Tech school instructor fired for dissident activities

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.
