Greece: Unionized mining and metallurgical workers to protest in Athens Oct. 4

Event

Unionized mining and metallurgical workers plan to protest at the Ministry of Finance building in Athens from 12:30 on Oct. 4 to demand improved employment security. It is unclear how many participants may attend.

Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the affected area and may linger for several hours after the demonstration ends. Isolated confrontations between protesters and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid the protest. Allow additional time if traveling near the affected area. Strictly heed all instructions from authorities. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
