Social workers ride shotgun on freight trucks
and school buses
HAVANA, Cuba - July 5 (Richard Roselló
/ www.cubanet.org) - Authorities have assigned
a batallion of social workers to ride along
with the drivers of freight trucks carrying
merchandise out of the port of Havana, and
of school buses, starting July 3.
The social workers supervise the assigned
vehicle's documentation, including route
sheets, bills of lading, and fuel consumption
records. They have been monitoring the operations
of the Cuban oil retailing monopoly, CUPET,
since the beginning of the year.
The mostly young social workers are meant
to look for irregularities in the transportation
and storage of merchandise and in the use
of school buses to transport students and
others.
