The unions of ICE, APSE, UNDECA, FIT plan on marching from the Central Park to the Legislative Assembly starting at 10 am, so avoid downtown too.

Carlos Báez, Secretary of Conflicts of UNDECA (Caja Employees Union) stated that emergency and in-patient care services would function normally, but that other services would be affected.
