The National Salaries Committee (CNS) is meeting today to discuss salary increases for private sector workers. The meeting is scheduled for 10am. A consensus is being sought but Diario Libre reports that labor unions and employers are not willing to budge from their positions. The private sector is offering a 12% wage increase on minimum salaries, taking into account inflation over the last two years. Labor representatives, however, are pushing for a 50% wage increase for employees who make up to RD$30,000 per month. Diario Libre points out that the CNS only has the legal capacity to revise the minimum salaries, but doesn't have the power to enforce any changes.
