A nationwide general strike against the federal government’s pension reform is due to be held in Brussels on Friday, December 14.

Green vests from the CSC, blue vests from the SLFP and red vests from the FGTB unions will be among those participating in the protest. The protesters appear to have been inspired by similar "yellow vest" protests that happened in cities across France in recent weeks.
