Jordan: Transport workers plan to strike nationwide from June 28

Event

Unionized public transport workers plan to strike nationwide from June 28 to demand that authorities reduce the costs of oil derivatives. While organizers have not issued specific calls to protest, striking workers may hold demonstrations near transport stations, public squares, and government buildings. The duration of the strike is unclear.

The strike will likely result in service delays and cancelations. Services remaining in operation could experience crowding. Increased use of private vehicles may prompt traffic congestion on major routes, particularly during the morning and evening rush hours. Residual disruptions are likely as services normalize after the strike. Large numbers of protesters and associated security measures during demonstrations could prompt localized traffic disruptions; isolated clashes are possible.

Advice

Confirm all transport reservations. Check local media sources for up-to-date information on the status of public transport. Consider alternative transport options to mitigate travel disruptions and allow extra time to reach destinations. Limit exposure to likely protest sites and demonstrations due to the potential transport delays.
