The FGTB, CSC and CGSLB trade union federations called a national strike for Wednesday after talks on a new inter-professional agreement for 2019-2020 broke down. The federations disagree with the limiting of salary increases to 0.8% for the next two years.
STIB expects the strike to affect its tram, bus and subway schedules. To better inform commuters, it will open its contact centre (070/23.20.00) from 06.00 a.m. on Wednesday. It will also continually post updates on its Internet site, www.stib.brussels as well as via Facebook and Twitter.
