There may also be nuisance in other sectors because (some of) the staff joins the demonstration in Brussels. “There will be a lot of people, especially from low-wage sectors,” said Pia Stalpaert of the Christian trade union ACV this morning in “The seventh day” on One. Poverty and socio-cultural organizations would also join the demonstration.
The Flemish employers’ organization Voka fears that some companies in the private sector will be forced to shut down their production tomorrow. Voka is not aware of large companies that are said to be at a standstill.
The city Antwerp also expect nuisance to the city services. The garbage collection is not insured tomorrow and also the recyclingparking are closed. Also at the Day-care actions are possible: the parents were notified in advance. The impact for other city services remains unclear.
Also the port of Antwerp may expect an impact from trade union actions, but has taken this into account as a preventive measure in its port planning, it says, so that everything should run as smoothly as possible.
