According to Abreu, during the meeting that the CNS held last Monday at the headquarters of the Ministry of Labor, the businessmen delivered a document in which they stated that Accumulated inflation is 6 % and? The productivity of the Dominican worker has risen 2 %. Therefore, “Reading between lines”it is interpreted that your proposal would be close to approximately 10 % or 8 %.
«The businessmen made a very well -founded document, theoretically, that is a treaty, wonderful to read, because they talk about all the issues. But they forgot a detail, and it was that the meeting was to present proposals for percentages, in response to the two that are in the air (the 30 of the union plants and the 20th of the government), ”said the trade unionist, at the same time at the same time that added: «That is what they can raise and what is deduced from their exhibition«.
