Sanitation workers with police records asked to resign

CAMAGÜEY, August 23 (Normando Hernández, CPIC / www.cubanet.org) - Twenty employees of the Public Health Ministry who are part of the sanitation brigades trying to eradicate the Aedes aegypti mosquito have been asked to resign from their jobs because they have police records.

The announcement was made by the chief of the eradication campaign at the Previsora polyclinic, Camagüey, David Duarte Ruiz, speaking at a meeting in the park in front of the facility. Workers with police records should resign because they would not be allowed to work after August 30.

An activist of the Cuban Christian Democrat Party, Ernesto Corría Cabrera, said the idea for the measure came from Ángel Vázquez, the campaign chief at the provincial level.

Presumably, the motive behind asking the employees to resign is to justify unemployment, behind the argument that the dismissal was at the worker’s request.
