Mexico: Protest scheduled in Mexico City Nov. 6 to demand the reduction of the workweek

Activists plan to hold a protest outside the Chamber of Deputies in the Venustiano Carranza borough of Mexico City starting at 17:00 Nov. 6 in support of a proposal to reduce the workweek from 48 to 40 hours. Federal legislator Susana Prieto organized the demonstration to pressure other members of Congress to support the bill.

Hundreds are likely to participate in the rally, which will likely prompt heightened security in the area; transport and business disruptions in the neighborhood are possible.
