Unionized public sector workers to demonstrate in Piazza del Popolo, Rome, from 10:00 Oct. 19. Leaders of the FP-CGIL, UILPFL, and UILPA labor unions will demand improved wages, healthcare, and workers' rights, and increased employment numbers. Demonstrators will travel from across Italy to the event; it is likely that thousands, possibly tens of thousands, will take part.
Increased security and localized road travel and transport disruptions are likely near the rally on Oct. 19. The protest will likely pass off peacefully.
Plan for delays and consider alternative routes if operating in central Rome Oct. 19. Heed instruction from local authorities. Leave immediately the area at the first signs of confrontation.
