Belgian Union Demands Reversal Of Unemployment Benefit Limits
Unions and several federations are calling on Yves Copiters, the Minister for Health and Social Economy, for urgent measures regarding rising fuel prices. The groups are requesting full funding for all kilometers traveled by family assistants and social domestic workers. Minister Copiters previously stated he was prepared to implement targeted and temporary exceptional measures to assist Walloon non-market sector operators facing federal mandates. These measures aim to support workers amidst rising costs. The Socialist Trade Union (ABVV) is calling for the reversal of government measures that limit unemployment benefits to two years. Since January 1, 86,000 long-term unemployed individuals have lost their benefits due to this decision. ABVV representative Rofte Weerd stated the union hopes to achieve a full rollback of these restrictions.
