Ryan Posted September 25, 2013 Share Posted September 25, 2013 Great stuff as always Punch Joe. One thing I've wondered about is why workers in the despalillos (stripping rooms) are predominantly women. Even before the revolution women working in a tobacco factory were normally in the despalillo. In all the times I've been in stripping rooms in factories or sorting/stripping houses, I can't remember ever seeing a man doing the work. Any idea why women are seen to be suited to that job more than men, that is, other than tradition? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
