Belgium - Unions mobilise workers in non-profit sector - February 2, 2010

Workers in the non-profit sector that includes hospitals and social services took to the streets in Brussels in December and early February, in support of demands of the joint unions for the collective agreement covering 2010 and next years. The unions are concerned that government budgets for 2010 do not include any provisions for a revised agreement.
