President: no more wage increases

President Hipolito Mejia said yesterday that there will be no more wage increases for public employees this year. His administration this year authorized a 10% inflation adjustment on wages. Mejia said that the measures that are part of the government’s social compensation plan have barely started to be implemented, and time is needed to feel their effects. The Dominican Association of Professors, that groups public school teachers, aspires to a 100% wage increase.
