Argentina: Unionized municipal workers to stage strike in Rosario through late May 23
Unionized municipal workers to stage strike in Rosario, Argentina, through 23:59 May 23 to demand higher salaries; related rallies possible.
Unionized municipal workers staged a protest in front of the Municipality of Rosario building and launched a strike in the city May 21. The purpose of the actions is to demand higher salaries. The labor action is slated to run through 23:59 May 23.
The work stoppage will probably cause disruptions to public services in the city. Strike participants may stage additional demonstrations over the coming days, including near the Municipality of Rosario building. Heightened security and transport disruptions will probably affect any areas that are subject to protest activity. Clashes between demonstrators and police cannot be ruled out, especially if protesters are overly disruptive or ignore police orders to disperse.
Avoid all protest activity as a precaution. Consider taking alternative routes to circumvent any demonstrations and related disruptions that materialize. Confirm appointments if operating in Rosario during the strike period. Adhere to all instructions issued by local authorities.
