Belgium Faces Near Paralysis Amid Three-Day Strike
(MENAFN) Belgium is preparing for widespread disruption as a three-day strike organized by labor unions began on Monday, impacting public transportation and services across multiple sectors.
On Monday, public transport will come to a halt, with public services joining the industrial action on Tuesday.
The strike will reach its peak on Wednesday with a nationwide, cross-sector work stoppage, according to a daily newspaper.
Railway personnel, an independent train drivers’ group, and the nation’s three public transport providers have all announced their intention to participate in the three-day strike.
Brussels Airport is expected to have no departing flights on Wednesday, while some arrivals may also be affected.
Charleroi Airport is anticipated to experience a similar situation, suspending both departures and arrivals.
Teachers, public service employees in the Walloon region, local and provincial authorities, and healthcare staff will join the strike, while police officers are protesting over working conditions and retirement benefits.
Waste collection in Brussels and Wallonia will also be interrupted from Monday through Wednesday.
Trade unions, including FGTB, CSC, and CGSLB, have called for the strike, pressing the government coalition to implement "greater tax fairness," review corporate subsidies, and ensure "all salaries are subject to social security contributions."
The unions additionally criticized reforms to pensions and changes to employment conditions across various professions.
