The purpose of the demonstration is to demand an end to layoffs and implementation of improved working conditions. It was not immediately clear how many participants may attend.

Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near the protest site. Low-level confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
