Costa Rica: Union members to march through San Jose March 13
Unions call for a march on Paseo Colon in San Jose, Costa Rica, from 10:00 March 13. Increased security, localized disruptions likely.
Event
Members of various public sector unions plan to march from the Leon Cortes statue to Parque Central in San Jose, starting at 10:00 March 13. The action is to denounce the government's Public Employment Law and loan with the IMF. The march is likely to draw hundreds of unionized workers.
Police will probably deploy to monitor the march, though major violence is unlikely. However, the march will likely cause localized traffic disruptions, especially along Paseo Colon.
Advice
Avoid all protests as a standard precaution. Plan for localized traffic disruptions in central San Jose March 13.
