Haiti - Ouanaminthe : CODEVI Industrial Park paralyzed by new demands
The strike at the Industrial Development Company (CODEVI) Industrial Park in Ouanaminthe, in the northeast, continues. After obtaining the government's waiver of the 10% payroll tax https://www.icihaiti.com/en/news-45987-icihaiti-codevi-the-haitian-government-takes-measures-and-reassures.html , the workers refuse to return to work despite the call to do so. They are now demanding, as a condition, a salary adjustment in line with the rising cost of living.

In light of the recent events at the CODEVI Industrial Park, the Association of Industries of Haiti (ADIH) wishes to express its full solidarity and unwavering support for one of its long-time members: the Industrial Development Company (CODEVI). "The strike that began last week, and which is continuing for a second week, is deeply worrying not only for CODEVI, but also for the economic and social stability of the entire region."

Haiti is experiencing an unprecedented crisis. While formal jobs are disappearing at an alarming rate, industrial parks like CODEVI remain among the few formal pillars still supporting economic activity and the hope of thousands of families. Unfortunately, "this strike also appears to have been influenced by certain sectors seeking to destabilize the country, thus imposing an unfair burden on CODEVI and threatening the stable jobs of the workers who depend on these operations."

"The CODEVI company alone employs more than 16,000 workers, supporting nearly 100,000 people."

ADIH urges the resumption of operations at the CODEVI Industrial Park so that workers can return to their jobs, provide for their families, and contribute to the local economy. CODEVI's impact extends far beyond its walls : it supports small businesses, service providers, and entire communities in Ouanaminthe and throughout the Grand North.

Finally, ADIH urges the government to take all necessary measures to protect the safety of CODEVI workers and facilities.
