Romania: Unionized energy workers to demonstrate in central Bucharest, Nov. 20
Unionized energy workers to demonstrate at the Labor Ministry in Bucharest, Romania, from 11:00 on Nov. 20. Heightened security likely.
Unionized energy workers plan to demonstrate at the Ministry of Labor and Social Solidarity in Bucharest from 11:00 on Nov. 20. Affiliates of the Federation of Energy Trade Unions will denounce the government's recent pension reforms. It is possible that more than a thousand union members will take part in the event.
Authorities will likely deploy extra police to facilitate the protest. Heightened security, road closures, and congestion may prompt localized transport disruptions. The event will likely pass off peacefully.
Avoid the protest area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling in central Bucharest. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers.
