Cuba is to abolish its system of equal pay ..., ... "because it's not "convenient"
Article source.Cuba to abandon salary equality
Cuba is to abolish its system of equal pay for all and allow workers and managers to earn performance bonuses, a senior official has announced.
Vice-Minister for Labour Carlos Mateu said the current system - in place since the communist revolution in 1959 - was no longer "convenient".
He said wage differentiation should improve production and services.
President Raul Castro has introduced a series of reforms since succeeding his ailing brother Fidel in February.
Writing in the communist party newspaper Granma Mr Mateu said workers would receive a minimum 5% bonus for meeting targets but with no ceiling on salaries.
Managers could earn a 30% bonus if the team working under them increased production, he said.
The minister pointed out that the current wage system sapped employees' incentives to excel since everyone earned the same regardless of performance.
"It's harmful to give a worker less than he deserves, it's also harmful to give him what he doesn't deserve," the newspaper article said.
Challenging Marxist orthodoxy
But the impact in terms of purchasing power will be limited, the BBC's Michael Voss in Havana says.
The average wage in Cuba for everyone - from doctors to farm labourers - is about $20 (£10) a month.
Even before the recent sharp rise in oil and food prices Cuba was spending billions of dollars on imports, and that bill is likely to rise sharply, our correspondent says.
So far most of the reforms announced since Raul Castro took over the presidency have involved lifting restrictions such as the bans on mobile phones and computers.
The latest change is a more fundamental challenge to Marxist economic orthodoxy, our correspondent adds.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha, it took them 50 years to figure that out! I guess some people are quicker on the uptake then others.
They live in poverty and without much freedom, and still there's no real social justice in the country. That's what you get if you bring egalitarian maniacs to power.

What's the betting that Fidel and Raul and Carlos and their buddies got a tad more than $10 a week.
What's the betting that they will also get a pay rise along with the 'managers' whose workers 'perform' well.
Maybe they will follow the Uk, where the head of the BBC, the main feminazi AgitProp organisation, gets 18 mil PomPounds a year, which is 30 times as much as the PM, Wee Gordie Broon, and 20 times the pay packet of the Governor of the Bank of England. (Mind you, Wee Gordie also gets as as much free haggis as he can eat).

A Feminist is a human being who has lost her way and turned vicious.
If you meet one on the road as you Go your Own Way,
offer kindness but keep your sword drawn.

maybe they figured that if they pay an engineer the same as a floor sweeper
the floor sweeper would be delighted but the engineer could be floating toward Florida on an inner tube if not carefully watched

Lefties are always enthusiastic too point to Cuba as being some great socialist utopia, yet the reality couldn't be further from the truth. Cuban men and women still can't vote.
It's another costly lesson (endured by it's populace!) in how ideology rarely translates 'effectively' to the real world. Maybe this free economy thing might work.
