Argentina: Unionized teachers protest near Congress in Buenos Aires, March 7
Unionized teachers protest near Congress in Buenos Aires, Argentina, March 7. Heightened security and disruptions likely.
Members of the Confederation of Education Workers (Confederacion de Trabajadores de la Educacion de la Republica Argentina, CTERA) are protesting outside the Congress of the Argentine Nation in Buenos Aires on March 7. Protesters are demanding salary increases and the implementation of a better pension plan.
A heightened security presence is almost certain in the area, as are localized transit, mass transit, and business disruptions. Clashes between police and protesters cannot be ruled out, especially if the authorities attempt to forcibly disperse protesters.
Avoid all protests as a precaution. Heed the directives of authorities. Plan for localized transit and business disruptions. If clashes occur, immediately seek shelter in a secure, nongovernmental building.
