Informational

Event

The Trade Union of Education, Science, and Culture of Slovenia (SVIZ) is calling for a nationwide teachers' strike March 9 to demand increased pay. SVIZ anticipates strike adherence will be very high, resulting in the closure of most kindergartens and schools throughout the country. Strike participants could form picket lines at educational facilities. Any gatherings are likely to be peaceful; however, low-level scuffles are possible. Increased absenteeism is possible among employees who are parents of school-aged children during the walkout.

Advice

Check local news sources for up-to-date information on school closures and demonstrations. Avoid all demonstrations as a routine security precaution.
