Belgian union Synova opts out of Oct 9 demo, cites strategy not split

Synova, a Belgian trade union, announced it will not join the October 9 national demonstration organized by FGTB and CSC, while affirming continued unity with the common front. The move signals internal divergence in labor strategy amid government budget cuts, though Synova shares concerns over social consultation. The split could weaken the protest's impact and reflect broader labor fragmentation.
