The SACTP transport union is threatening a work stoppage if the companies that contract their services don't raise salaries to RD$15,000 and give drivers 40% of commissions per trip. Hoy writes that the transport of liquid propane gas (GLP) is at a standstill throughout the country. SACTP secretary general Clemente Morillo Uribe says that the DR has enough GLP to last for the week and that there would be problems if both sides don't come with an agreement. Morillo says that some businesses have reached an agreement, but that if the remaining businesses don't follow suit, SACTP would have no choice but to increase pressure. Diario Libre writes that GLP shortages are already being reported in some parts of the country.
