Political divisions within the Dominican Association of Professors have prevented the teachers union from responding to a recent letter from President Hipolito Mejia. In the letter, the President says that given government finances, a wage review for teachers could not be considered until next year. President of the ADP Olimpia Gonzalez and acting president Sigfredo Cabral are divided on how to reply. Meanwhile, the ADP has been carrying out teacher strikes to protest that wages have not been revised upwards.
