 The working class of Belgium, who have been reeling under the cost of living crisis, organized a massive demonstration on June 20th. More than 80,000 people took to the capital city Brussels, demanding a solution to the cost of living crisis, as well as a hike in wages. Protesters carried with them banners which read, more respect, higher wages and end excise duty. Trade unions including the General Labour Federation of Belgium, Confederation of Christian trade unions, General Confederation of Liberal Trade Unions of Belgium and political parties like the Workers Party of Belgium and Communist Party of Belgium were the key organizers of the protests. In the past few months, workers across Europe including in Belgium have been organizing frequent mobilizations against the ongoing cost of living crisis. Trade unions and progressive political parties have been demanding a general increase in wages to mitigate the crisis characterized by skyrocketing food and energy prices. But the 1996 Wage Margin Act has been acting as a major impediment to this since it establishes a strict procedure for the Belgian social partners to negotiate a maximum average wage increase. The act controls wage rates in the private sector in order to protect the competitiveness of companies from those in neighboring countries. This, according to the unions, prevents any significant salary increases as well as negotiations on fair wages. This is for the 1996 Wage Margin Act so that the workers of the companies can have a decent wage. We realize that currently, on the part of the COVID crisis, on the part of the war in Ukraine and other occupations of the workers, the government is preparing for our desiderata. The 1996 Wage Margin Act is to be abolished. We must be able to negotiate in the companies a fair wage. This is where it is possible. For the right, we are not happy with what we are given and what we are paid. The inflation in Belgium grew by 6% and hit 9% in June and has resulted in a sharp rise in the cost of living. The functioning of the Brussels airport also came to a standstill as it could not allow passenger flights to depart due to lack of security personnel as well as due to the cancellation of most arrivals. Meanwhile, from June 23rd to 25th, pilot and cabin through unions of Brussels airlines will also go on strike owing to higher work pressure.
