The Central Workers’ Central of Cuba (CTC) has initiated a nationwide program to implement 176 economic and social transformations. Through assemblies and seminars in provinces such as Mayabeque and Cienfuegos, the union is providing leaders and workers with tools to manage business transformations and participate in grassroots economic planning.

These efforts include training on the new Labor Code (Law 189) and focus on critical areas such as wage payments, occupational health, and collective bargaining agreements. The initiative aims to ensure workers have a voice in the 2027 Economic Plan and Budget while addressing challenges like energy restrictions and U.S. sanctions.
