FGTB says the social movement will continue in early 2026 and flags a January 'coup de poing' action in Brussels ahead of a rail strike. On 2025-12-17, FGTB’s president specified that railway workers will hold a week of actions in the week of 2026-01-26, with details to be finalized with other unions.
