Between September and December, Cuba will submit the draft of the new Labor Code to a broad public consultation process, according to the newspaper Granma.

The process will include the participation of Cuban workers from all sectors, including state, private and cooperatives, in addition to those working on missions abroad.

This was announced by Minister of Labor and Social Security Marta Elena Feitó Cabrera, who emphasized that this consultation represents “a way to expand workers’ guarantees and rights in labor legislation.”

Although without providing details, the minister emphasized that one of the main advances of this legislative proposal lies in its structure: it is organized into four books, inspired by comparative law, which address general provisions, individual rights, collective rights and labor administration.

The text also integrates a dozen previous regulatory provisions and, for the first time, will include regulations as part of the legal framework itself.

This, according to the minister, “will give it greater comprehensiveness and unify all decisions in order to strengthen workers’ benefits.”

New Labor Code in Cuba

Feitó Cabrera assured that, once approved, the new Labor Code will be mandatory for all employers and workers in the country, regardless of sector.

During a recent national preparatory seminar, the general secretary of the Central Organization of Cuban Trade Unions (CTC), Ulises Guilarte de Nacimiento, stated that this constitutes “the most important political process of the labor movement in 2025, in which its participation in the destiny of the nation is reaffirmed.”

As part of the planned schedule, training activities for union officials and leaders will be carried out in July and August.

They will be accompanied by legal experts and institutional representatives at the provincial and municipal levels, as well as preparing labor groups to undertake the consultation process, the report concludes.
