The transport unions, which exert almost total control over the movement of passengers and freight throughout the country, have met with officials from the Transport Reorganization Office (OPRET), including the chief executive, Diandino Pena. The unions recommended that the government should price diesel fuel at between RD$110 and RD$120 a gallon and LPG (propane gas) at RD$60 a gallon. According to the spokesperson for the CNTU union, Ramon Perez Figuereo, Diandino Pena promised that the President would look at these requests.
