But the figure could jump to a million, based on a survey conducted for CGIL, Secretary General Susanna Camusso said.
Protesters will travel from across Italy, some coming from abroad to join the march, she added.
They will march under a “Work, dignity, equality. To change Italy” banner, calling on the government to put employment at the centre of its agenda.
Among the demands made by CGIL are greater public and private investment, the extension of workers’ rights and more stable employment contracts.’
