Belgian rail workers to strike next week

ECONOMY 27.11.2022

Rail workers in Belgium are to strike over several days in the coming week as part of a union-led campaign for greater government investment in the network.

Text size:

One train in four on average will run on Tuesday because of the action, called by the main rail unions, Belgium's rail operator the SNCB said in a statement. The action will start late Monday from 2000 GMT.

Services in some regions will be completely halted according to media reports.

A 48-hour strike by train drivers on Wednesday and Thursday will further disrupt services.

Rail workers in Belgium have regularly denounced their worsening working conditions and called for greater government investment.
