Public workers plan to strike nationwide in Peru June 19-20. Protests planned at Plaza Dos de Mayo in Lima.
Unionized public workers affiliated with the Confederation of State Workers of Peru (Confederacion de Trabajadores Estatales del Peru, CTE) plan to launch a 48-hour nationwide strike June 19-20 over a series of labor-related demands. Organizers also plan to hold a demonstration at Plaza Dos de Mayo in Lima starting at 10:00 on June 19 and 20. The number of participants the protests may draw remains unclear.
The demonstrations are likely to prompt transport and business disruptions in central Lima. Heightened security is also likely near government offices. Protests in other cities are possible. The strike may cause business disruptions.
Avoid all protests as a precaution. Confirm appointments in advance if operating in Peru June 19-20. Plan for delays and alternative routes near the area affected by the march. Heed instructions from authorities.
