Cabo Verde: Unionized education workers plan to stage a nationwide strike from 07:00 Sept. 19
Unionized education workers plan to stage strike across Cabo Verde from 07:00 Sept. 19 to 18:00 Sept. 20; localized disruptions likely.
Unionized education workers associated with the Democratic Union of Teachers (SINDPROF) plan to stage a nationwide strike across Cabo Verde from 07:00 Sept. 19 to 18:00 Sept. 20. The labor action's purpose is to demand better working conditions and the alleged non-compliance by government authorities on various resolutions, among other demands. It remains unknown whether organizers plan to stage protests during the strike action.
Unless averted, heightened security will likely be deployed to monitor any such gatherings that materialize. Protests near education and government buildings are possible. Localized transport and business disruptions are further likely. Clashes between police and demonstrators are unlikely, except if protesters are overly disruptive.
As a standard precaution, avoid all demonstrations. Check local news sources for up-to-date information on demonstrations; plan for possible localized transport disruptions where protests materialize. Heed the instructions of security personnel.
