Netherlands: Pharmacists' groups plan to demonstrate in The Hague Nov. 12
Pharmacists' groups plan to demonstrate in The Hague, Netherlands, Nov. 12. Possible localized disruptions.
Pharmacists' groups plan to demonstrate in The Hague on Nov. 12. The trade organization KNMP, supported by the labor unions FNV and CNV, will call for higher wages. The protest is part of an ongoing campaign of regional strikes. It is not immediately clear where or when the rally will take place; possible locations include the Health Ministry. It is likely that several hundred will take part, based on previous pharmacists' protests.
Additional police will likely be deployed to monitor the protest. Associated security, including possible road closures, will likely prompt localized transport disruptions. The demonstration will likely pass off peacefully.
Avoid any demonstrations as a routine security precaution and to mitigate associated disruptions. Check public transport schedules and local traffic conditions for disruptions before beginning journeys in The Hague Nov. 12. Allow extra time to reach destinations.
