Demonstration of thousands of workers in Belgium in protest of the status quo
According to the report of the international group of Fars news agency, media sources reported on Monday the holding of demonstrations by Belgian workers against the neglect of their rights.
According to the “Irish News” newspaper, 20,000 members of the Belgian trade union protested against increasingly bad working conditions and the loss of their rights. The protests of the workers paralyzed the transport and subway activities and caused heavy traffic in the city of “Brussels”.
Not long ago, thousands of Belgians came to the streets of Brussels to protest against the increase in living costs. Following the war in Ukraine, the price of gas and electricity in Europe increased so that the average inflation in Belgium reached 10.63% in November.
One of the protestors said: “A person comes to his house because of his children and wants his house to be warm, and he should not be forced to calculate for the use of energy.”
According to Irish News, the trade unions are angry with the companies that are seeking to impose new contracts on workers, and this action will affect their working conditions and reduce their salaries, and of course, the indifference of the government. This round of demonstrations in Belgium took place under the supervision of police forces.
