Household helpers take action in Waregem for better travel compensation

The activists gathered at service voucher company Greenhouse in Waregem.

About forty activists went to Waregem with a foam cannon. There they held a “foam campaign” to service voucher company Greenhouse. “This is one of the biggest players in the industry. Despite the excuses that there would be no money in the industry for better wages, there have been big gains here too and a lot of that went to shareholders. That’s why we’re feeding here today action”, says ACV secretary Dieter Devos.

“Our sector has been campaigning for better wages and relocation allowances for six months. The demands are certainly legitimate, especially now that fuel prices are swinging. However, in the meantime, it has remained silent on the employers’ side, despite the fact that the household helpers have already taken to the streets several times. , Federgon, the federation of temporary employment and service voucher companies, refuses to come up with anything extra,” said the trade unionist.

Another action is planned in Bastogne on Thursday 7 April. More provincial actions will follow in the coming weeks.
