The Dominican Republic Shippers Association (ANRD) says that the Santiago labor court decision revoking the registration of unionized truckers to impose a monopoly on transport in Puerto Plata should be applied nationwide.
“A company owner in the Dominican Republic should be able to send and receive merchandise through our ports easily, but that does not happen. They are forced to use the unionized trucker ground transport, without being able to choose which company to transport the cargo,” stated ANRD spokesman Teddy Heinsen, as reported in El Caribe.
