The National Business Council (CONEP) has agreed to consider a 40% wage increase proposed for workers who make RD$20,000 or less and a 25% increase for workers who make between RD$20,000 and RD$30,000 per month. The decision was made after protesters marched on CONEP's headquarters in Santo Domingo. They began their march at the Lira Park, making their way down Lincoln Avenue, until they reached CONEP headquarters in Torre Empresarial at the corner of Lincoln and Sarasota Avenues. Without specifying details, a spokesperson for the protestors warned that if CONEP doesn't submit a valid offer there would be more protests. Members of CNUS, CASC and CNTD unions all took part in the march.
