The trade unions also point out that this decision is not only affected by this decision. “In addition to the 600 employees at Alstom, numerous suppliers in the region are caught, since the local anchoring has been going back for decades in 1956 of La Brugoise et Nivelles (BN). For example, suppliers Team Industries in Roeselare and Televic Rail in Izegem are tried directly.”
The unions also insist on a debate and a change in the law on public tenders. “Belgium is fishing at the bottom of the European list of allocation of public tenders. It is no more than normal that we opt for employment and production in our own country,” it sounds.
