Disruptions are expected to continue in Belgium as the three-day nationwide strike, which began on 24 November, proceeds. The strike was launched by labour unions to protest the government’s planned social and budget reforms, which includes proposed welfares cuts and reduced workers’ income aimed at reducing the country’s deficit. The union’s planned walkouts have disrupted transport, schools, hospitals and public services over the last two days. The strike is expected to escalate on 26 November as private-sector unions join the general strike.
