South Korea: Unionized construction workers plan to demonstrate at Sungnyemun Gate in Seoul Oct. 2
Labor union plans to stage protest at Sungnyemun Gate in Seoul, South Korea, Oct. 2. Localized transport disruptions possible.
Unionized construction workers plan to demonstrate at Sungnyemun Gate in Seoul Oct. 2. The construction workers' wing of the Korean Confederation of Trade Unions (KCTU) is organizing the action due to a breakdown in wage negotiations. Organizers did not specify a start time for the event. A few hundred people could attend the gathering.
Heightened security is likely around the protest site, and localized transport disruptions may occur. While the gathering will likely be peaceful, isolated scuffles between activists and police are possible.
Avoid the protest as a precaution. Plan for localized traffic disruptions near the demonstration. Allow additional time for transport in downtown Seoul. Heed all local security and traffic advisories. Leave the area at the first sign of a security disturbance.
