Agricultural workers in Cuba have not been paid in three months

HAVANA, June 1 (Moisés Leonardo Rodríguez, Grupo Decoro / www.cubanet.org) - The members of the Ernesto "Che" Guevara agricultural cooperative, in the La Guanábana neighborhood, Media Luna, Granma province, have not received their salaries in three months, said Jesús Guerra from that territory.

The coop members receive credits to buy food, and the net is deducted from their salaries. In some cases, the monthly pay remaining after deductions has been as little as 15 pesos, less than a dollar at the current exchange rate, said Guerra.

Coop members Ángel Guerra, a mule driver, and Frank Domínguez, who shoes the mules, complain that they are obligated to participate in the so-called Day of Defense under threat of punishment.
