A united trade union front in Belgium, including FGTB-ABVV, CSC-ACV, ACLVB, will stage a nationwide general strike against austerity measures and in favour of protecting jobs on Monday, January 30^{th .} UNI Europa is putting its full weight behind this day of action.

In the light of European austerity policies and a disappointing economic growth policy, the united trade union front fears that, in Belgium, working people and people receiving social security benefits will be the target of further austerity measures in addition to those already decided by the government.

Monday’s general strike is necessary in order to convince both the government and employers to fully take into account the real social conditions of working people and recipients of social security benefits.
