Strike in Dominican Republic
By
Berta Joubert-Ceci
Published Jul 24, 2011 11:00 PM
A 24-hour work stoppage paralyzed commerce and traffic in the Dominican
Republic on July 11. The action was called by the Alternative Social Forum, a
group of about 50 organizations, in response to the acute disaster produced by
the worldwide capitalist economic crisis and the so-called corrective measures
being taken by the Dominican government. The response to the strike was
greatest in the poorest neighborhoods, which are the most affected.
An extensive interview with long-time Dominican revolutionary Narciso Isa Conde
in an upcoming issue of WW will expose the situation in that country which
ignited the July 11 events.
