Santo Domingo.- Maribel Gassó, president of the business leaders grouped in Copardom, yesterday said they’ll meet Wednesday to discuss the demand for a wage increase with the leaders of the unions grouped in CNUS.
All business organizations are invited to the meeting, Gasso said, to discuss the letter sent by the unions last week, and to hear the concerns and opinions of employers on how to apply the increase.
CNUS president Rafael Abreu said they maintain their position that workers get a 50 percent increase for salaries up RD$30,000.
He questioned the of employers’ intentions of not wanting to discuss the issue until April 2009, because the pay raise for the minimum wage, applied by law every two years, has been under discussion.
Employers maintain their position that a pay rise shouldn’t affect the competitiveness of businesses.

The fact that the employers’ community has the intentions of not wanting to discuss the issue until April 2009, will be a contributing factor on the extremely potential of civil unrest for which all the conditions are being economically and politically created. Its strongly suggested that the employer community stop being so money hungry and exploitative and do agreed to the salary increase or risk having to massively move to Miami, escaping a civil unrest explosion: They need to give a little to save a lot.
