The Alternative Social Forum (FSA), a protest movement, took to the streets yesterday in support of a 60% wage increase for Dominican workers who make less than RD$100,000 per month. The FSA has been central in organizing national strikes in the past. The FSA protested outside the Ministry of Industry and Commerce offices. FSA coordinator Romer Castanos said this protest is just the first in a series of protests planned by the FSA. Castanos said that if the FSA's demands aren't met it could lead to another nationwide strike. Hoy reports that a memorandum was available for Industry and Commerce Minister Melanio Paredes but no representative came forward to accept the memo.
