Pedro Ross

Beginning as a young construction worker Cuba, Pedro Ross became a teacher during Cuba’s great literacy campaigns of the 1960s, and came to serve three terms as General Secretary of Cuba’s labor federation, the CTC (The Workers’ Central Union of Cuba)—and in that capacity developed a nationwide series of “Labor Parliaments” dedicated to some form of resolution to the economic collapse. Upon retirement, he was appointed Ambassador to Angola, a post he held for several years. In his eighties, he is still active in Cuba’s ongoing revolution.
