The local transport system came to a halt as a result of the national strike on 22 April called by the socialist trade union. The strike affected rail, post, school and government offices across the entire country. In Brussels all three trades unions, the socialist, the Christian and the liberal unions, issued the strike call. Therefore, practically all metro, tram and bus services operated by the Brussels local transport company, the MIVB, were cancelled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">English: \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fwww.belfasttelegraph.co.uk\u002Fnews\u002Fworld-news\u002Ftravel-chaos-amid-brussels-strike-31162300.html\">http:\u002F\u002Fwww.belfasttelegraph.co.uk\u002Fnews\u002Fworld-news\u002Ftravel-chaos … \u003C\u002Fa>  \u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp align=\"left\" class=\"CM3\">\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan class=\"discreet\">\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">For more information, please contact the editor Jan Cremers, Amsterdam Institute for Advanced Labour Studies (AIAS) \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:cbn-aias@uva.nl\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">cbn-aias@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\"> or the communications officer at the ETUI, Mariya Nikolova \u003C\u002Fspan>\u003Ca href=\"mailto:mnikolova@etui.org\">\u003Cspan color=\"#0567d1\" size=\"2\">mnikolova@etui.org\u003C\u002Fspan>\u003C\u002Fa>\u003Cspan color=\"#666666\" size=\"2\">.
