France: Unionized workers to march in central Paris from 13:00 Oct. 4 to demand improved protections for undocumented workers

Event

Unionized workers plan to hold a protest march in central Paris from 13:00 Oct. 4 to demand improved protections for undocumented laborers. Demonstrators will gather at Place du 18 Juin 1940 before marching to the Ministry of Labor, Employment, and Economic Inclusion building; protest organizers did not immediately announce the march route. It is unclear how many people will participate in the march.

Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely along the march route and may last into the evening. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and frustrated motorists cannot be ruled out.

Advice

Avoid the demonstration as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near a potential march route. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
