South Korea: Unionized medical workers plan to march in Seoul, 13:30 June 8

Event

Unionized healthcare workers plan to march from Donghwa Duty-Free Store to Seoul Station in Seoul, from 13:30 June 8. The action is over a list of demands to the government relating to labor standards in the healthcare sector. This demonstration comes before an indefinite healthcare workers' strike planned from July 13. Organizers expect around 5,000 union members to participate in the rally.

Authorities will likely deploy additional security in and around the protest site. Localized transport disruptions are likely along the march route. While the protest will likely remain peaceful, minor isolated skirmishes cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Exercise caution around the protest venue. Plan for potential localized transport disruptions and allow additional time to reach nearby destinations. Heed all official security and transport advisories.
