Fashion sector workers to demonstrate in Florence, Italy through the morning of Nov. 12. Heightened security, disruptions likely.

Warning

Fashion sector workers to demonstrate in Florence Nov. 12. Striking workers represented by the CGIL and other labor unions will raise awareness of the fashion sector's economic challenges. Attendees are gathering in Piazza Adua and will march to Via Cavour. The event is scheduled to end at 12:00. It is possible that several hundred to low thousands will participate in the demonstration.

Local authorities will likely deploy additional security to facilitate the event. Heightened security, road closures, and congestion will likely prompt localized transport disruptions. The march will likely pass off peacefully.

Avoid the affected area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling in central Florence. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
