A nationwide, cross-sector general strike is planned as the culmination of a three-day action. Workers across public services will carry out a nationwide work stoppage opposing government reforms.
Belgium’s three main union confederations called coordinated strikes: rail on 24 Nov, public services on 25 Nov, and an interprofessional general strike on 26 Nov over budget cuts and reforms.
