Wouldn't we all like to get paid and not anything for it? Well, 1,500 former employees of the State-owned Electricity Companies (CDEEE) have announced that as of tomorrow they will hold vigils around Santo Domingo in an attempt to pressure the CDEEE to give them their jobs back. Readers may recall that mass dismissals were announced by Celso Marrazini soon after taking up his new post as CDEEE vice president. Marranzini announced he would "trim the fat" off the CDEEE when he took over and began to do so by removing hundreds of employees who had only been receiving pay. He once commented that many people who were on the payroll came to work for the first time when he took office. The inefficiencies in the CDEEE and its bloated payroll had been subject of much controversy, but these employees still want their "jobs" back. They have even sent letters to the President and the PLD political committee demanding reinstatement.
