Cuba’s economic reforms are a two-step process, if not more, as labor
federation chief Salvador Valdes Mesa explained
in an interview just before the May 1 labor marches, where he tied any
state sector salary increases to the big cuts in government spending that have
to occur first:
“Until
the country, through the measures it adopts, is able to reduce inflated
payrolls, eliminate unnecessary free benefits and subsidies, which act against
increasing the productivity of work, it will not be in a position to make
salary increases from the current pay scale.
