Caridad Escalona Ortiz is an enthusiastic worker leader who finds in her workers the vital drive to fulfill her social responsibility in the midst of deficiencies. She states this, aware that unity is the success that makes the Basic State Unit (UEB) today. Food Producer and Distributor in the municipality establishes itself and manages to open itself to new ways of doing things. “It is a shared pride that this and other achievements are taken into account for recognition as the best workers' group in the territory and the reason that makes us continue with greater strength in the fulfillment of our corporate purpose.”
For Yaimé Ramírez, union leader in the Municipal Directorate of Labor and Social Security, his colleagues represent a large family that has the challenge of an essential work. “We take all the attention to vulnerable people and we are on many other fronts that equally need that dedication, but if our mission is directed, union activism has been essential to accompany, motivate, reflect and unite in search of results.
And he adds: “We are not knowledgeable about food production but we are aware that it is possible to do more with our efforts and we call on our workers, we already have beds in our entity with lettuce and there are already ideas to take advantage of these benefits for other crops, That is to say, we beat with Cuba from our little piece and we are equally happy that we are stimulated for what we do.”
According to Naida Giraldo Quezada, Secretary of the Cuban Workers' Union (CTC) in the territory at the event for the 85th anniversary of the CTC held at the February 4 Base Business Unit in Buenaventura, 2024 has to be a year superior in matters such as saving resources, compliance with the working day and the connection to respond to the concerns of the mass of workers.
