US embassy cable - 04SANTODOMINGO2072

Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

 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.
