Workers warned for refusing to submit to
strip search
RANCHUELO, Cuba - May 26 (Félix
Reyes Gutiérrez, Cubanacán
Press / www.cubanet.org) - Three women who
work at the "Ramiro Lavandero Cruz"
cigarette factory in Ranchuelo were issued
a public warning for refusing to submit
to a strip search upon leaving the factory.
Elina Quintero, Nersy Trujillo, and Yuliet
Ponce said they were instructed by security
personnel to strip so they could be searched
as they were leaving at the end of their
shift.
The three pointed to Public Law 229, which
regulates working conditions, and stipulates
that workers cannot refuse to be patted
down, but says nothing about stripping.
