Belgium: Unionized transport workers to protest, March 12
Unionized transport workers from across Belgium to protest at the Robert Schuman Roundabout, Brussels, from 11:00 March 12.
Unionized transport workers from across Belgium plan to protest in Brussels on March 12. The purpose of the action is to denounce EU austerity measures. Participants will demonstrate at Robert Schuman Roundabout in Brussels from 11:00. It is unknown how many participants will attend.
Public transport disruptions are likely across Belgium, particularly affecting Transport Operator of Wallonia (TEC) and Brussels Intercommunal Transport Company (STIB), services. Heightened security and localized transport disruptions are likely near Robert Schuman Roundabout. Clashes between demonstrators and law enforcement officers near Robert Schuman Roundabout cannot be ruled out.
Consult the TEC, STIB, and De Lijn (Flemish public transport operator) websites for updated information on March 12 if you plan to travel via public transport. Avoid the protest location as a standard precaution. Allow additional time for all travel via public transport. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
