The Association des propriétaires et chaffeurs d’Haiti (APCH—Association of Owners and Drivers of Haiti), a union of 2,000 transport workers in Haiti, has made a number of demands on the Preval government to improve the conditions for transport workers and stop the government's planned privatization program. At a recent press conference the communications director of the union, Fortuné Patrice, explained the demands:
-A reduction in the price of fuel.
-A compromise in the government’s demand that transport workers and owner/operators pay up for vehicle license fees that went unpaid during the three and a half years of chaos that followed the February 29, 2004 coup d’etat in Haiti. The union says the de facto government provided no services during that time, so drivers or anyone else being asked to pay up should not have to pay. The APCH has offered a compromise payment from its members of half the fees owed.
-Revision of the May 26, 2006 law that hiked various licensing and traffic fines by as much as 50 times.
-An end to layoffs and privatisation plans for state-owned companies such as Teleco (telecommunications) and EDH (electricity).
-Programs to improve the conditions of life for the poorest people in Haiti, such as reductions in the price of basic foods and more funding for health care and education.
