Are either of you familiar with the organization FOCAL, which is an independent NGO dealing with issues in the Americas?
Christina Warren testified to this committee, speaking about trade unions, which is, I think, your particular background and point of emphasis. She said:
The rights of workers in Cuba, which we're obviously very concerned about as well, are also not recognized. Independent trade unions are simply not allowed. In fact, Amnesty International has suggested that any independent organizations apart from those sponsored by the state are barred from having legal status. We are very concerned about that.
Do you share her concern?
