Serious disruptions to public transport are expected today, particularly in San Juan de la Maguana and Elias Pina provinces, as well as in the eastern region. Some 8,000 vehicles are due to take part in the action. As reported in Hoy, FENATRANO and CONATRA union leaders Juan Hubieres and Antonio Marte made separate announcements about their action plans in demand of government attention to their complaints. Hubieres said that there was no formal strike call, but just a four-hour work stoppage, especially the San Juan - Elias Pina routes. Another action will be called for Santiago, this time for a five-hour stoppage. Antonio Marte told reporters that the entire eastern Dominican Republic would be paralyzed. This includes Boca Chica, San Pedro de Macoris, La Romana, Higuey, Hato Mayor, El Seybo and Miches. Some of the complaints center around student fare subsidies, and transportation for the police, military and elderly.
