Cobbler charges he was fired for his political
leanings
SANTA CLARA, Cuba, June 6 (Guillermo Fariñas,
Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org)
- A young cobbler who was fired from his
job here after taking time off to participate
in a dissident activity, charges he was
fired for his political leanings.
"It is not convenient that you work
here, due to your counterrevolutionary activities,"
Roberto Carlos Pérez says his supervisor
told him after he returned to work.
Pérez, 26, has been a cobbler for
10 years. At the end of May, he asked for
a few days' leave to attend the Assembly
to Promote Civil Society in Cuba, a gathering
of dissidents in Havana held May 20 and
21. He said he told his supervisor and his
fellow employees that he would be taking
the time off. Yet, when he went back to
work, the shop supervisor, Jorge León,
fired him.
