Head of Cuban union movement urges workers to fight economic order
THE head of Cuba’s trade union movement has urged workers worldwide to unite and fight the “decadent international economic order.”
Speaking at the TUC Congress in Brighton, Workers Central Union of Cuba (CTC) general secretary Ulises Guilarte de Nacimiento praised British trade unions for their support for the socialist island, saying that the “relations of friendship” between British and Cuban trade unions have “passed the tests of time.”
Mr de Nacimiento said the nearly 60-year-old US blockade of Cuba brings “paralysis” and “deprivation” to the country’s people, punishing them for the Cuban government’s refusal to “bow to the orders of the empire.”
