Incident Details

The Uganda Local Government Workers Union (ULGWU) has called for an indefinite nationwide walkout on October 1 regarding salary grievances. This demonstration may slow or suspend functions in ministries, local government offices, schools, and public services. Pressure on services is already elevated as the National Teachers’ Union has been on strike since September 15 over similar grievances.

Traveler Safety

SafeAbroad travelers should plan for delayed government servicing and limited office hours, while confirming any appointments well in advance. Monitor union/government statements for any suspensions or escalations to the strike.
