BELGIUM-PUBLIC-DEBT-POLITICS-LABOUR-TRAVEL
People stand on a platform, as they wait a train with delay, at the Brussels Central train station on December 21, 2011. Belgian trade unions have called a general strike in the public sector on December 22 to protest the new government's pension reform plans, aimed at making it tougher to take early retirement. But rail travel was disrupted as early as December 20 by angry railway workers who caused severe disruption in the towns of Mons, Ath, Tournai and Charleroi, with wildcat strikes. The Belgian public sector strike will disrupt Eurostar and Thalys rail connections to Britain, France, The Netherlands and Germany, the railway authorities said on December 20.
