I just came back from Bavaro. I meet several Dominicans employed in the hotel industry working 14-16 hours/day, getting payed for 8 with days off dependent on the needs of the hotel, (11 to 15 days span.) One of them told me that b4 loving Hipolito laws had been enacted mandating overtime pay, but that he had made underhanded agreements with the hotel owners disregarding this law. Mother of Jesus, how far can exploitation go?
