Christian and socialist trade unions back on the streets on 29 April

Key Protests

Belgian Christian and Socialist trade unions are organizing another day of action on April 29th to protest against the federal government's social policies. This follows a national general strike on March 31st.

Reasons for Protests

The unions are critical of what they term the government's "social demolition" policies, particularly its spending on arms while allocating limited funds to workers. Their demands include changes to pension reforms, time-limited unemployment benefits, and preventing budget cuts in public services.

Locations and Actions

• A delegation will meet with the Minister of Employment and Economy.
• Picket lines will be set up at business parks and companies.
• Leaflets will be distributed at busy locations.

Public transport will be significantly impacted across the country.
