The country’s four main trade union groups – the Central General de Trabajadores (CGT), Confederación Nacional de Trabajadores Dominicanos (CNTD), Autónoma Sindical Clasista (CASC) and the Trabajadores Unitaria (CTU) – have formed a new umbrella body, the Consejo Nacional de Unidad Sindical (CNUS, National Council of Union Unity). The presidency of the new organization will rotate among the Secretaries-General of the member groups every six months. The aim of the CNUS will be to foster unity among Dominican unions and to present a united front on worker issues whenever possible.
