Pacifist denied government job

Pacifist denied government job

PINAR DEL RÍO, Cuba, November 10 (Rafael Ferro / www.cubanet.org) –
Labor ministry officials in the municipality of Consolación del Sur have
rejected a job application from pacifist Felipe Gil, a member of the
opposition People's Party (Partido del Pueblo).

"I don't know where else to seek work," he said. "I'm prepared to work
as a carpenter or bricklayer. I have all of my papers in order and the
only reason the authorities allege is the fact I'm opposed to the
government."

Officials deny dissidents employment in state businesses dominated as
key, such as tourism, construction and military institutions.
