Strike in Dominican Republic

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.
