Unionized automotive workers to stage protest march and strike in Turin, Italy, April 12; heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Automotive workers affiliated with several unions plan to stage a protest march and a related eight-hour strike in Turin on April 12. The purpose of the actions is to call for increased corporate investment in the city's Mirafiori automotive factory complex. Protest participants will reportedly gather at Piazza Statuto at 09:00 before marching to Piazza Castello. Demonstration organizers did not immediately disclose details regarding the march route. The number of people that may participate in the actions was not immediately clear.
Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely between Piazza Statuto and Piazza Castello. Confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the march area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near or between Piazza Statuto and Piazza Castello. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
