The CODEVI Industrial Park in Ouanaminthe, northeastern Haiti, remains paralyzed as workers continue their strike despite the government’s recent waiver of the 10% payroll tax. Initially, the strike was triggered by tax-related grievances, but it has now evolved into a broader demand for salary adjustments to align with the escalating cost of living. The workers’ refusal to return to work has raised concerns about the economic and social stability of the region. The Association of Industries of Haiti (ADIH) has expressed its solidarity with CODEVI, emphasizing the critical role the industrial park plays in sustaining formal employment and supporting thousands of families. ADIH highlighted that CODEVI employs over 16,000 workers, indirectly supporting nearly 100,000 people. The strike’s prolonged duration threatens not only the company but also local businesses, service providers, and communities in the Grand North region. ADIH has called for the immediate resumption of operations and urged the government to ensure the safety of workers and facilities. The situation underscores the broader economic crisis in Haiti, where formal jobs are dwindling, and industrial parks like CODEVI remain vital lifelines for economic activity.
