Santo Domingo.- Dominican Republic’s unions have limited freedoms contrary to its industries which though strongly organized, deny workers that very right, and even fire those who dare to unionize within the workplace.
A group of union representatives voiced the statement in front of Congress Tuesday, who said workers rights aren’t respected and the reform to the labor law only jeopardized them.
The unions’ spokeswoman Luz Eneida Mejía said they’re opposed to the neoliberal reform which they affirm was imposed on the Labor Code and that workers’ privilege to unionize was passed since last year though Congress has yet to ratify it.
She said the workers will be called to attend a congress on December 10 to define the actions to deal with the political decisions by some industrialists and sectors.

Like Juan Luis Guerra sings the Purple Bus is in REVERSE!
The pro-union, pro-slacker labor laws in the D.R. are a major impediment to a healthy and robust economy in the Dominican Republic.
Why is it that the most advanced industrialized countries with the highest standards of living have Pro union labor laws?

Really Joise?
The US has Pro-Union Labor laws like the DR? Explain!
Provisions for workers' "fair wages for a fair day's work", must be enforced by the govt...However, we must be careful not to maim our cash cows. They provide the livelihood by which thousands
benefit.
There's a delicate balance in workers' rights and management profits that must be paid attention to and constantly monitored.
Unfortunately, our govt.,apparenty, does neither!...How we've managed to prosper at all, is a mystery to me!
My understanding is that in some industries in the USA, unions actually benefit the employer. There is an agreement between the employer and the union to maintain an agreed level of productivity. If an individual worker is underperforming, it is the union and not the employer that chastises him.
