🟥 On reclame un plan sociale qui soit à la hauteur de l’attaque qui est mené par le groupe @AudiOfficial sur les emplois industrielles ici à Bruxelles dit @SorHillal @MWBFGTBABVV

🟩 Jan Baetens @ACVCSCMETEA on the situation at @AudiOfficial in #Brussels and why trade unions have called for a demonstration today

🚨De Industrie is van ons 🚨

[industriAll Europe @industriAll_EU]

Trade unions take the streets today outside the @AudiOfficial factory in #Brussels

Audi management should get back to the negotiating table & agree a social plan. We stand in full solidarity with the workers in Forest & all other automotive sites in Europe. We urgently need a European plan that puts workers at its heart and ensures that we don’t lose industrial capacity. We are marching today against deindustrialisation. And for good industrial jobs. @Jude_KD

[industriAll Europe @industriAll_EU]

🟥 today at @AudiOfficial Brussels.

After a failed conciliation trade unions have called for a demonstration today.

🚨 It’s our industry! 🚨

@industriAll_EU supports the workers of Audi and stands in full #solidarity!

❗️The EU's ban on goods produced through forced labour takes effect today

With profits from forced labour highest in Europe and central Asia, European governments have a moral obligation to enforce the ban without delay

No way, we won't pay.

Workers and their unions, including the ETUC, were in the streets of Brussels this morning to call out attempts by the incoming government to cut public services, social protection & pensions.
