The Shippers Association agreed to a two-week waiting period for talks to solve an impasse between them and the truckers union, Federacion Nacional de Transporte Dominicano. An affiliate of the truckers disputes the Shippers Association’s right to handle 50% of the truck lift cargo. Seeking to resolve the conflict, the Dominican Port Authority ruled the Fenatrado affiliate had the right to 50% of the cargo. This ruling was rejected by the shippers association which ordered work stoppages to protest the Port Authority decision.
