[NewsWhore]

National Salary Commission (CNS) president Gloria Henriquez is urging the business sector and the labor unions to continue the discussions into a possible wage increase for non-sectorized employees but the negotiations are at a standstill and neither side is moving. The workers unions want a wage increase of 25% for all persons earning up to RD$30,000 and the business sector is only willing to give 12% but only to persons making the minimum wage.
