France: Industry sector groups to stage protest in central Strasbourg Sept. 17
Industry sector groups to stage protest at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, France, from 14:00 Sept. 17. Disruptions likely.
Multiple industry sector groups plan to demonstrate at the European Parliament in Strasbourg, 14:00-16:00 on Sept. 17. The EFFAT (European Federation of Food, Agriculture, and Tourism Trade Unions), ETW (European Transport Workers), EFBWW (European Federation of Building and Woodworkers), and other federations will demand increased measures to prevent exploitation of workers. The event is likely to draw several hundred participants.
Authorities will likely deploy increased security measures to monitor the demonstration. Heightened security and congestion may disrupt access to the European Parliament. The event is likely to pass off peacefully.
Avoid the protest as a standard precaution. Allow extra time to reach destinations in central Strasbourg, as well as for access to the European Parliament. Heed the instructions of local authorities.
