Seasonings plant effectively shut down
HAVANA, Cuba, January 14 (José
Antonio Fornaris, Cuba Verdad / www.cubanet.org)
- The "El Potro" seasonings plant
has been effectively shut down by lack of
materials, and dozens of workers have been
idle for over ten days.
"Right now, they are only processing
cumin," said one worker at the plant,
"there are no cardboard boxes to pack
the product."
The plant, located near the international
airport, produces and packs seasonings destined
for the local hard currency markets.
Employees who have been sent home are collecting
one-third of their regular salaries, said
the factory's employee, or about 60 pesos
(approximately two dollars) a month.
