FROM CUBA Cuba tourism workers complain about political training 2s314l

CIEGO DE VILA, August (Kallan Poe / cubanet.sergipeconectado.com) - All those employed in the tourism sector in Ciego de vila province will now have to take 30-day training courses which workers complain are mostly political.

Any that don't complete the courses successfully can be declared "not suited" for their work and fired.

The courses are given at the Formatur school of hotel management, in neighboring Morn.

Among the classes included in the training, workers have to take a survey of Cuban culture, and another called Language analysis of the round tables, the nightly political programs on government TV.

"The reason they are complaining is obvious," said a tourism official. "For four weeks the workers are not going to be getting their tips, which are not that great to start with in the everything-included-plan hotels in Cayo Coco and Cayo Guillermo."
