The National Confederation of Dominican Workers (CNTD) affirmed that 2024 ends with manifest violations of freedom of association, without a new Labor Code and Social Security law, which deepens social and economic differences and in practice questions the trumpeted State of law.
Jacobo Ramos, deputy and president of the CNTD, maintained that in relation to the Labor Code, employers maintain their position of eliminating or limiting a fundamental achievement for workers such as unemployment after more than ten years of dealing with the issue in the tripartite dialogue.
“His proposal to reduce unemployment to only six years for workers hired from the entry into force of the new labor code and to only pay them ten minimum wages, it does not matter if the worker gives him more than ten years of his life, is an attack not only on law but also human degradation,” he emphasized.
Before persisting in its opposition to providing the country with new labor legislation, the employer sector must contribute to improving salary levels in the country, a situation that deepens poverty and marginality.
