Unionized general practitioners to strike across Czech Republic Oct. 29-30; healthcare service disruptions likely.
Doctors affiliated with the Association of General Practitioners labor union plan to conduct a nationwide strike Oct. 29-30. The strike's purpose is to demand larger salary increases.
During the strike period, medical service disruptions will likely affect medical facilities nationwide, particularly those that offer general practitioner services; disruptions could linger into the morning of Oct. 31. Picket protests are possible at medical facilities nationwide. Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near any demonstrations that occur.
