On July 4, we met with the president and several other members of The National Assembly of People's Power, which is Cuba Cuba met with people across the Island and took ideas from those people and used them to put together a new constitution. Much of this information is found in the article we posted: The new Constitution and the future of Cuba by Julio Pernús. There is no point in repeating a lot of things Pemús wrote. So I will focus on what we learned on our trip.
As Pernús points out, there was a constitutional referendum held inCuba
This new law covers all aspects of marriage, children and divorce. It lays out, according to iclg.com/ Cuban Family Law 2019, 1Divorse, 2 Finance on Divorce, 3 Marital agreements, 4 Cohabitation and unmarried family, 5 child maintenance, 6 Children- Parental responsibility and custody, 7 Children international aspects, and for 8 they give an overview.
For an in depth look at the New Constitution see: General Overview of Cuban Family Law Legislation.[1]
Some things that I found out from members of the National Assembly of People's Power is that the members only meet about two times a years, unless something special comes up, such as an emergency. Being a member of the national assembly is a part time position. They are only paid for the time and work they put in. They all have other jobs they must go to. It is obvious that these folks are not running the day to day aspects of government.

Esteban Lazo Hernández, the president of the National Assembly, talked of a trip he took to New York Harlem Cuba Cuba
To become a member of the National Assembly, a candidate has to win an election. Any new law or issue that comes up has to be from a resolution by the people. We were told that National Assembly members said that it was part of their job to talk to judges and prosecutors for various court cases that come up each year.
Another institution we visited, while in Cuba
Another group of people we met with was the leadership of the Trade Union Council of Cuba (CTC). We were told about trade unions and their role in Cuban society. As with trade unions in the US US
So do the trade unions simply lack the power they need to really support their workers, or is such an action as a strike unnecessary? It is hard to say for sure. But my impression is that Cuba US Kansas Cuba Kansas Cuba US
