Belgian unions plan Oct 9 demo; CSC presses Les Engagés on budget alternatives

Belgian trade union CSC, after meeting with Les Engagés president, announced a national demonstration on October 9, fearing new measures targeting workers, social beneficiaries, and the sick, including work flexibilization. The union proposed 21 billion euros in budgetary alternatives and awaits the party's response. This signals escalating labor opposition to the government's fiscal plans.
