Belgian metalworkers union to protest fuel prices at gas stations Friday

FGTB Métallos, a Belgian metalworkers union, plans action at gas stations on Friday to protest rising fuel prices, which disproportionately affect workers dependent on cars due to poor public transport in industrial zones. The union highlights that fuel costs are consuming an increasing share of workers' wages. This signals growing labor unrest over energy costs, potentially pressuring policymakers on fuel taxation or subsidies.
