Heavy traffic disruption due to union action in Zeebrugge

On Monday morning, ACOD Overheidsdiensten took action on Isabellaan in Zeebrugge against the austerity plans of Flemish civil service minister Liesbeth Homans (N-VA). In its own words, the socialist union “does not intend to be led like lambs to the slaughter” ahead of the negotiations starting on 24 September. In late July, it held a first warning action at the lock in Menin. That was now followed by a sweeping action in Zeebrugge.
