The trade union movement in Las Tunas is aware that it is imperative to adjust its performance to the context to face and overcome today's challenges. This was stated by the member of the Political Bureau of the Party and secretary-general of the Central Union of Cuban Workers (CTC in Spanish), Ulises Guilarte de Nacimiento, in his most recent visit to the territory.
Las Tunas, Cuba - In a meeting with leaders of the organization and its unions, Guilarte de Nacimiento emphasized that it is not enough to describe the complex scenario through which the Cuban economy is passing and its impact on social life; he stressed that "it is necessary to transform it," and abounded on the role of the Cuban working class in the destiny of the nation.
On the strategies designed to respond to this call, Odalis Batista Pérez, secretary-general of the CTC Provincial Committee, members of its Secretariat, and general secretaries of the unions at that level talked to the press.
Batista Pérez emphasized that they have called for voluntary work on weekends and change of work, where conditions allow it, to promote the cold planting campaign of agricultural products, a strategic task of the country that requires everyone's contribution.
She also referred to the need to support with similar actions the planting of sugar cane, the repairs in the sugar industries, the machinery for cutting and transferring this raw material as essential premises to achieve efficiency in the coming harvest, and the promotion of the self-consumption of companies, a way to improve the attention to the personnel in each sector.
She recalled that the organic processes, before the national conferences of the Construction; Commerce, Gastronomy and Services; Food Industry; and Agricultural, Forestry, and Tobacco Unions, strengthened the structures of the union sections and allowed them to face new challenges with more vigor.
In the following months, the priorities of the workers' movement are the election of lay judges, architects of the democratic character of socialist justice; and the beginning of the assemblies for the preparation of the conferences in the unions of Industries, Tourism and Culture.
The secretary-general of the CTC in the province emphasized that emulative dynamics are organized to stimulate the most outstanding in these tasks and that the advent of the 85th anniversary of the organization summons to work united to build the society to which the vast majority of the Cuban people aspire.
