In so doing, they sought to raise awareness of the problems involved in maintaining living standards as inflation increases, primarily driven by soaring energy prices. The confederations are seeking to ensure that there is adequate space for proper negotiations in which they are challenging the provisions of the 1996 law that restrict the scope for pay increases. The confederations are also committed to defending trade union rights in the face of the recent court decision that saw suspended prison sentences imposed on a number of activists who had taken part in a general strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Read on:\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lacsc.be\u002Factualite\u002Factualites-et-communiques-de-presse\u002F2021\u002F11\u002F19\u002Fmanifestation-le-6-12-pour-des-augmentations-de-revenus-et-pour-le-droit-a-mener-des-actions-collectives\"> in French.\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For more information, please contact Paul de Beer or Oana Ciuca, De Burcht (Scientific Bureau for the Dutch Trade Union Movement) \u003Ca href=\"mailto:p.t.debeer@uva.nl\">p.t.debeer@uva.nl\u003C\u002Fa> or the Head of communications at the ETUI, Mehmet Koksal \u003Ca href=\"mailto:mkoksal@etui.org\">mkoksal@etui.org\u003C\u002Fa>.
