📅 31 March 2025 📍 Belgium

A nationwide general strike opposed the federal government’s plans and the direction of its labour and welfare reforms. Pickets, reduced public transport, shop closures and actions at hospitals and cultural venues made the strike visible across sectors. RTBF’s report included union voices and workers concerned about unemployment-benefit changes. Strike participation let workers exert collective pressure, while revealing how public services and care work are integral to economic life.
