A thorough analysis of personnel policy and the vital task of unionization was the focus of debate this Friday at the Extraordinary Plenary Session of the Provincial Committee of the Central Organization of Cuban Workers (CTC) in Holguin.
With the presence of Santiago Badía González and José Antonio Pérez Pérez, members of the Organizing Committee of the 22nd CTC Congress. Union leaders from the province of Holguin critically examined the current state of both strategic fronts, which warrant differentiated attention.
Idalmis Serrano Gómez, general secretary of the CTC in the province, emphasized the persistent shortcomings. Especially at the municipal and grassroots levels. “Where there are no qualified personnel, how can union problems be addressed? We are obligated to transform the situation. Actions taken have not been sufficient,” she reflected. And pointed out the need to be more proactive and effective.
The debates highlighted problems in controlling the pool of cadres and weaknesses in managing this process. Which limits the responsiveness of the labor movement at the primary levels.
In this regard, Santiago Badía González emphasized the importance of having precise tools for decision-making. He said the database must be updated so that decisions regarding cadre policy can be made based on it. “We must work intentionally. We must discuss things one-on-one,” he argued.
He also insisted on the need to address this problem in each governing body to reverse it. Through a personalized and concrete approach. The Plenary also dedicated time to examining other crucial issues: unionization and the collection of dues, areas where vulnerabilities were identified.
It was also acknowledged that, amidst the current complexities, the CTC and its unions have an imperative to reach out more to non-state forms of management. Also promote their affiliation with the organization that safeguards labor rights.
