Belgium has entered a three-day strike as unions protest the government’s pension and economic reforms, including raising the retirement age and cutting unemployment benefits.
Transport workers halted buses, trams, and trains across Brussels, Wallonia, and Flanders. Today, public-sector staff join the action, affecting schools, hospitals, courts, municipal services, and postal operations.
On Wednesday, the strike expands to airports, the private sector, and police, grounding all flights to Brussels and Charleroi. Unions say the government should “tax big business, not the public.”
