The island Department of Labor and Human Resources (DTRH by its initials in Spanish) will meet at 10 a.m. today with representatives of Suiza Dairy and the General Confederation of Workers (CGT) in a new attempt to resolve the labor conflict that has led to a partial closure of the company for more than a month.
“Both parties have agreed to meet tomorrow at the offices of the Conciliation and Arbitration Bureau of the DTRH,” DTRH Secretary Gabriel Maldonado-González said Tuesday in a written statement.
The meeting will be attended by Suiza Dairy directors, CGT leaders, and DTRH mediators, including Maldonado-González and Madeline Meliá. The objective is to reach a reasonable agreement that ends the strike and allows the company to resume normal operations.
“We trust that both parties are in a position to reach a middle ground that will allow us to move forward,” Maldonado-González added.
In recent days, the DTRH has supported laid-off workers with job searches, legal assistance and guidance on the unemployment insurance program.
It's great to see DTRH stepping in to facilitate a new meeting between Suiza Dairy and the union. Open communication is essential in resolving any disputes and ensuring that workers' rights are respected.

Collaboration and understanding are key to moving forward!
