The CGSP Cheminots trade union has informed the SNCB, Belgium’s national rail operator, that its members intend to strike next Wednesday in protest at the closure of 44 ticket offices in stations across the country. Train schedules and services should not be affected by the action, the Socialist union said.
The aim of the strike is to alert customers and railway workers of the SNCB’s decision to close the counters, explained the national president of the CGSP Cheminots, Pierre Lejeune.
On 9 February, the SNCB board of directors announced that these ticket offices would be closed at the stations concerned by the end of the year. Several meetings, including one on Monday, have since taken place between management and trade unions, but these have not provided any reassurance about the future of the ticket offices, according to Lejeune who added that there was no more time for dialogue and that action was needed.
