Camagüey, May 14th.- The collective of the Factory El Surco stopped in its daily work to acknowledge Carmen Rodríguez Pérez in the context of the celebration of May 29, Tobacco Worker's Day.
The stimulus was delivered by Aurelio Fumero Sosa, deputy director of the Tobacco Collection, Benefit and Torcido Company, along with Norvey Martínez Milan and Adisnuvia Nieves de Loyola, representatives of the Union of the sector in Camagüey and the primary city, respectively.
As Carmita highlighted in the emotional act, as all her colleagues affectionately call her, she accumulates a fruitful service sheet of more than 60 years in the industry, first as a despalilladora and then as a tobacco reader.
Delvis Camacho Álvarez, director of El Surco, pondered the qualities of the place that, even at 76 years of age, is very active, loquacious, with a very peculiar form of expression that reaches each one and earns the affection and admiration of all.
She also specified that she considers her an artist because of her way of acting, wisdom, elegance when reading, how to project herself, consecration to work and willingness to participate resolutely in any task that is needed.
After receiving the recognition Carmen Rodríguez Pérez said that the El Surco Tobacco Factory is my second home, here I have spent most of my life and here I will be as long as I have the strength to walk and do my job. (Text and photo: Rodolfo Medina Hechavarría/Radio Camagüey)
