Italy: Unionized workers to stage protests in Rome, Nov. 12

Unionized workers to stage separate protests in Rome, Italy, Nov. 12. Heightened security, localized disruptions likely.

Warning

Unionized workers to stage separate protests in Rome, Italy, from Nov. 12:

  • Journalists plan to demonstrate at the RAI headquarters in Viale Mazzini from 11:00; participants will demand improved contracts for independent media contributors.

  • The CGIL labor union and education campaigners plan to protest in Piazza Capranica 12:00-15:00, to demand more investment in the sector.

It is possible that several hundred to low thousands will participate in each demonstration.

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

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