Vice President Rafael Alburquerque and Labor Minister Max Puig both agree that the 12% pay increase for minimum wage earners proposed by the private sector is not enough. They called on the business sector to come up with a larger pay hike, in the spirit of the 100th anniversary of the birth of former President Juan Bosch, founder of the ruling PLD and opposition PRD parties.
