Bolivia: Health worker strike and protest in Santa Cruz, Dec. 15

Health workers in the Santa Cruz Department plan to strike on Dec. 15 against a controversial pension bill. An associated demonstration will also occur along Republiquetas Street in Santa Cruz de la Sierra from 09:00.

The labor action may cause delays at health facilities across Santa Cruz. Additional protests are possible near hospitals and clinics or along roads; authorities are likely to deploy increased security near all protest sites. Violence is unlikely.
