Workers and drivers union members marched towards the Torre Empresarial yesterday in order to demand a 25% wage increase for workers making up to RD$30,000. The march is just one event planned by the unions in order to pressurize the business sector into increasing wages. The unions warned that if their demands aren't met there could be a general work stoppage in May. The march began on Abraham Lincoln Avenue on the corner of 27 de Febrero and ended at the Torre Empresarial on Sarasota Avenue. The group was met by police when it reached the building but Colonel Francisco Aquino Eugenio said that police officers were only there to ensure the marchers' safety.
