Belgium - Non-profit sector sector workers mobilize for 8 June - May 13, 2010

Unions organising workers in the non-profit sector have called for a major national demonstration on 8 June in protest at the failure of the federal, community and regional governments to undertake meaningful negotiations. The unions are calling for a range of measures to improve purchasing power and employment conditions and increase employment in a sector that delivers a range of health and social services (See also this Collective Bargaining Newsletter Year 3 April 2010).
