A massive workers rally has shut down Melbourne's CBD, sending public transport into chaos and blocking roads to thousands of motorists.
Change the Rules rally, a protest calling for better working conditions and a national pay rise, which began at 10.30am at Trades Hall, on the corner of Lygon and Victoria streets, is slowly moving through the city.
Thousands of protesters signed up to march in the rally, which has closed parts of Lygon, Victoria and Swanston streets.
About 150,000 protesters are signed up to march in the rally, which has closed parts of Lygon, Victoria and Swanston streets.
The protesters will walk along Russell and La Trobe Streets before making their way down Swanston Street to Flinders Street Station.
Trams are operating with limited service in the city, with most stopping at the edge of the CBD until the delays clears around 12.30pm.
The city circle tram is impacted as well as trams that operate along Bourke, Swanston, Collins and La Trobe streets.
