Bpost has not been called to participate in the strike. The unions show understanding because the postal company is just in an important peak period, with many orders for Black Friday and Sinterklaas.
The employers’ organizations are not happy with the three-day strike. Voka calls this “incomprehensible and irresponsible in these economically difficult times”. Unizo believes that the right to strike has “gone off the rails” and wants to balance that right with the right to do business.
