Chile: Unionized port workers planning strikes nationwide April 4 to demand labour reforms

Unionized workers with the Port Union of Chile (Union Portuaria de Chile, UPC) are planning a day of strikes at ports nationwide April 4 to demand labour reforms. Strikes are scheduled to begin at 08:00.

Disruptions to business activities involving moving goods through seaports are almost certain. Associated protests are likely near ports; tightened security and localized transit disruptions are also likely near these sites.
