The strike at Bekaert in Zwevegem started yesterday, when the afternoon team stopped work. Production is also at a standstill today. The reason is the dismissal of an employee, which, according to the staff, happened unexpectedly and without prior sanction.
The unions do not want to say much about the work stoppage. “It is a delicate file. We are doing everything we can to reach a reconciliation and resume work,” it said.
