1. Many civilian air traffic controllers returned to work
today after the Dominican Civil Aviation Authority and
Dominican Air Traffic Controllers Union reached an agreement
early today. Representatives from both parties explained to
econoff that agreement was reached at 1:30 am after many
hours of negotiating. The union acknowledged that the GODR
is in no position to increase salaries at this time. The
parties will continue to engage one other on other
work-related issues. Indications are that operations are "70
to 80 percent back to normal." Embassy will continue to
monitor the situation.
