UK: Labor unions plan protest march in Edinburgh Nov. 28
Labor unions plan protest march to Holyrood House in Edinburgh, UK, from 10:00 Nov. 28. Increased security likely, disruptions possible.
Labor unions plan a protest march from Johnston Terrace to the Scottish Parliament at Holyrood House in Edinburgh, from 10:00 Nov. 28. Leaders of Unite the Union will call for politicians to save the Grangemouth oil refinery from closure. It is possible that several hundred to thousands will take part in the demonstration.
Authorities will likely deploy additional police to monitor the demonstration. The march and associated security measures prompt road closures and localized disruptions, but the event will likely pass off peacefully.
As a routine security precaution, avoid all protests. Prepare for ground travel delays near the march route in central Edinburgh on Nov. 28.
