Disputes surface again in non-profit sector

Belgium

The SETCA/BBTK white-collar union is again calling for strikes and demonstrations over the failure of the Brussels and Wallonia regions to implement collective agreements in the non-profit sector covering health, housing and social care. In Wallonia unions have organised a demonstration on 28 September in Namur. They argue that insufficient funds are available to cover the increase in pay agreed for the 2005-2007 period. In Brussels the unions are building for a major demonstration on 5 October in support of a number of key demands including harmonisation with health sector agreements, compensation for travel to work by public transport and statutory employment status for all workers in the sector.
