Havana, February 21 (RHC)-- The achievement of economic efficiency amid current transformations in Cuban society is at the center of debates at the 20th Congress of the Confederation of Cuban Workers, the CTC, which is underway at Havana’s Convention Center.

The experiences and concerns of workers about the implementation of payment systems based on production results and the adoption by workers’ assemblies of annual production schedules are also high on the agenda of a commission focusing on economic issues.
